Two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka earned her most impressive win since giving birth by knocking out American third seed Coco Gauff to reach the quarter-finals in New York.

Japan's Osaka, who had daughter Shai in 2023, cruised to a 6-3 6-2 victory in an hour and four minutes.

Gauff, 21, came into her home Grand Slam clouded by uncertainty in her game and it showed in a subdued performance.
