MELBOURNE, Jan 18 — Coco Gauff won the battle of the game’s bright young prodigies on Wednesday as she battled past Emma Raducanu 6-3, 7-6 and into the third round of the Australian Open.
Gauff then edged past the Briton on her third match point in the tiebreak before they embraced warmly at the net. The 20-year-old Raducanu, who is ranked 77, showed no signs of the ankle injury that forced her out of the recent Auckland Classic, which Gauff won for her third WTA Tour title. But Gauff held on to set up a third-round clash against fellow American Bernada Pera or China’s Zheng Qinwen.
