Two of tennis’ most exciting young players, Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu, will face off in the Australian Open second round after they both won their opening matches
on Monday. The 18-year-old Gauff comfortably beat the Czech Republic’s Katerina Siniaková, winning in straight sets 6-1 6-4. Elsewhere, Raducanu allayed some of her injury worries with her own straight sets victory over Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch, winning 6-3 6-2. The 2021 US Open champion twisted her ankle almost two weeks ago in Auckland as she left the court in tears. After a tough few years, Raducanu is seeded No.
” Gauff herself has faced immense pressure, becoming a household name as a 15-year-old with impressive performances at Wimbledon and the US Open. But the No. 7 seed showed no signs of nerves in her victory over Siniaková, winning her first set on the Rod Laver Arena court in just 22 minutes. It looked as if Siniaková might take the game to the third set as she broke Gauff to take a 4-2 lead, but the American was able to recover before eventually sealing the impressive victory.
