    This is what Coco Gauff does so well in these important moments, she makes all the right decisions.

    Madison Keys is taking that bait, she's going for broke too early in the rallies.

    Not a great start from Coco Gauff who double-faults.

    With two serves to come, Madison Keys could open up some daylight now.

    But it's another long rally - 13 shots - and Gauff comes out on top to level at 1-1.

    Gauff steps up to the net but executes a poor drop shot and Keys makes her pay.

    This opening set has been littered with nerves on both sides of the net. Will it be a factor again here as Coco Gauff looks to get on the board?

    Madison Keys finds her flow. A disguised forehand down the line puts her in control before a winner into the corner secures the hold.

    We're going to a tie-break.

    Coco Gauff can make the court feel very small and then you have to go for the lines and take more risk.

    Madison Keys tightens up her shoelaces as we enter a crucial moment in the opening set.

    But Coco Gauff is looking pretty formidable out there now and gets the hold to love.

    A great response from Madison Keys, though, as she finds a winner into the corner.

    Just when it's needed, Keys is finding some rhythm with her serve after a difficult few games and she has the opportunity to close out the game.

    A change of ends and Madison Keys opts to switch the aggression up a level - Coco Gauff attempts the lob but it's long.

    But a nervous backhand from Keys sails into the net before a forehand goes long - 30-30. Gauff is two points away from winning this set.

    Keys scuffs the ball wide and we go to deuce.

    This is tense.

    There are nerves in play anyway when you get to this stage of a Grand Slam tournament, but when you know the other person so well there is added pressure.

    You're trying to feel yourself into the psychology of your opponent, who is also your friend, and it makes things awkward.

    Momentum does appear to have shifted to Coco Gauff's side of the court as Madison Keys continues to allow errors to slip into her game.

    Gauff steps up the court, adjusts her feet to get around the ball and whips a forehand winner into the corner.

    That's four games in a row and the first time she has led in this match.

    From 4-1 down to 5-4 up.

    Madison Keys hasn't adapted to the quicker groundstrokes of Coco Gauff since she went 4-1 up.

    The momentum has completely shifted. Everything has turned around.

    Gauff looks completely in control.

    A double fault from Madison Keys and that advantage has slipped away.

    *Keys 4-3 Gauff

    It feels like this opening set is swinging back in Coco Gauff's direction after winning back-to-back games but Madison Keys is still up a break of serve.

    But for how much longer?

    Gauff has two break points.

    *Keys 4-3 Gauff

    Coco Gauff is still yet to win a game on serve, though. Can she address that here to put a bit of pressure on Madison Keys?

    Gauff seems to be getting the better of Madison Keys when they engage in long rallies.

    The first hold of the match for the 21-year-old.

    And that aggressive approach pays dividends for Coco Gauff as she has Madison Keys sliding one way and then the other across the baseline before slamming a volley at the net to break.

    Game on?

    You can see the tactical adjustment Coco Gauff is making.

    Just putting the ball in the court will not cut it today against Madison Keys.

    Gauff is taking a much more aggressive stance in this game.

    Keys 4-1 Gauff*

    Madison Keys continues to dominate, picking up her eighth successive point to lead 30-0. Coco Gauff finally halts that streak with a beautiful forehand into the corner.

    But that is swiftly followed a 15th unforced error of the match from Gauff. A lack of consistency from the 2023 US Open champion.

    Gauff digs deep to fight back to deuce.

    Coco Gauff hasn't quite progressed from the beginning of this match when there was hesistancy on both players' arms and racquets.

    Not so much anymore from Madison Keys.
