Coco Gauff fought back from a set down to reach the China Open final on Saturday and set up a showdown with party-pooper Karolina Muchova.

Coco Gauff rallied from a set down for the third consecutive match as she beat Paula Badosa 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 on Saturday to advance to the final of the China Open. The sixth-ranked Gauff will play Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic in Sunday's final as the 20-year-old American bids for her second WTA 1000 title.

Coco Gauff has reached her first WTA final since January after completing an absolutely stunning comeback win over Paula Badosa in the Beijing semifinal. Through the first set and a half, barely anything was working in the American's game and everything was pointing toward the 15th-seeded Spaniard getting the job routinely done in two sets.
