How does a tennis tournament work?
Tennis tournaments like the US Open are typically knockout competitions. Players compete in matches, and the loser is eliminated, while the winner progresses to the next round. This continues until only two players remain for the final match. Coco Gauff reaching the fourth round means she has won three matches so far.
