Australian Open: 15-Year-Old Tennis Player, Coco Gauff Knocks Out Defending Champion Naomi Osaka
15-year-old American teenager, Coco Gauff knocks out defending champion Naomi Osaka in straight sets to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Coco dethrones Naomi winning with 6-3, 6-4 to move into the second round.
The win makes her the first ever teenager to defeat a Grand Slam champion in Week 1 of any majors event.
The teenager during her interview after the match had this to say;
I don’t know where that came from. Honestly, like, what is my life?. Two years ago I lost in the first round in juniors and now I’m here. I was telling myself one point at a time and keep fighting. You never know what happens on this court.
Osaka won the pair’s only previous meeting in 2019 US Open, but Gauff takes the win home, winning in 67 minutes.
Gauff will play either China’s Zhang Shaui or American Sofia Kenin in the fourth round.
