Evert's texts, Gauff's net game: Cincinnati reinvention eight days before the US Open

Coco Gauff says 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert has been texting her to come to the net more — a tactical shift Gauff "did not realize how good she was at" until Wimbledon. The results: a 6-2, 6-2 Cincinnati quarter-final win over 10th seed Marta Kostyuk in 70 minutes, six breaks of serve. The US Open starts 30 August.
