WUHAN (Reuters) - World number four Coco Gauff earned her 50th WTA main draw win of the year as she beat Magda Linette 6-0 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the Wuhan Open on Friday, potentially setting up a semi-final clash with top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Former U.S. Open champion Gauff, who has made some grip changes with new coach Matt Daly, struggled with double faults over both sets but was dominant with her returns in the victory over an error-prone Linette.
