Coco Gauff vs. Zeynep Sonmez live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: US Open 2026
Gauff recently won Cincinnati Open title
Coco Gauff of the USA takes on Turkey’s Zeynep Sönmez in the first round of the US Open on Wednesday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Gauff lifted the Cincinnati Open title recently, defeating Jessica Pegula in straight sets in the final, and now she’s ready to open her home Grand Slam in front of a crowd that knows her well.
Gauff has now played at the US Open for eight straight years, reaching the fourth round or better in each of the last four editions, including her title-winning run in 2023.
Sonmez, meanwhile, is still finding her footing at this level. She reached a career-high ranking of world No. 48 in July, becoming the first Turkish player — male or female — ever to crack the top 50.
Sonmez, currently ranked 53rd, doesn’t have the experience that Gauff carries into this match. However, having played just eight Grand Slams so far, she’s proved she can hold her own, reaching the third round of Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
