Coco Gauff makes a great comeback to reach the final of the China Open

Fourth seed Coco Gauff came from down a set and a break to beat Paula Badosa to reach her first China Open final.

The twenty-year-old American dug deep and came through 4-6 6-4 6-2.

Spaniard Badosa, 19th in the world rankings but former world number two, looked in a good position when she was 4-3 in the second set.

But Gauff broke and rattled off the next four games to set up a decider, ultimately taking victory in two hours and 21 minutes.

She will face unseeded Czech Karolina Muchova or home favorite and fifth seed Qinwen Zheng in the final.
