Tennis - Australian Open - Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia - January 16, 2023 Coco Gauff of the U.S. celebrates winning her first round match against Czech Republic's Katerina Siniakova REUTERS/Loren ElliottMELBOURNE, Jan 16 - Coco Gauff burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old and was quickly touted as the "next big thing" but the American said on Monday the pressure she faced paled in comparison to that heaped on the shoulders of British standard-bearer Emma Raducanu.
"Obviously she's gone through a lot of pressure, bursting onto the scene. I feel like probably more than I have experienced coming to win a Slam," Gauff told reporters after her 6-1 6-4 win over Katerina Siniakova. "Obviously I was a lot younger when I got the attention, so I definitely think handling it at an older age is a little bit easier than at 15. But also, at the same time, I didn't win a Slam."
