INDIAN WELLS, California (Reuters) -Coco Gauff overcame a 5-2 third-set deficit against unseeded Frenchwoman Clara Burel to emerge with a hard-fought 2-6 6-3 7-6(4) victory on Saturday and reach the Indian Wells third round while fellow American Jessica Pegula crashed out of the tournament.

Third-seeded Gauff came out tight, spraying errors around the court and double faulting on two break points in a poor first set that Burel wrapped up with an unreturnable serve.
