Gauff who was excited on the milestone, after the match said:
“That was really difficult, she played really well. I was really nervous for today’s match. I was a bit shocked, I’m sure everybody was shocked, when they saw that draw, but I’m really glad to get through it.”
Gauff will now face Romanian Sorana Cirstea for a place in the third round as she aims to continue her good run of form.
