Coco Gauff picked up the win in her fourth-round match of the Australian Open. She was up against Poland’s Magdalena Frech on Sunday.

The World No. 4 dominated the match, beating Frech in straight sets to qualify for the quarterfinals of the tournament. This will be the first time in her career that she will be playing in the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park.

However, after the match against Magdalena Frech, the American tennis star was asked, in a post-match interview, about what was written on the shoes she was using.

A lot of things written. One is ‘you can change the world with your racquet.’ Something my dad told me since I was a little girl. It’s an inspiration for why I feel it’s important to speak up about certain issues. Another thing is the coordinates to the park I grew up at in Pompey Park. I grew up playing on public tennis courts in del Rey beach Florida.
To which the 19-year-old said

Besides, she also called out her brother Cameron during her interview after the match with the Australian Presser. She congratulated him for winning the MVP for his football team. 

Sometimes when my mom thinks I’m negative when I look down, I’m just looking at my shoe, just a reminder that life is much more than tennis. How I do on the court does not define me as a person.
Continuing further, she added

Coco Gauff’s red-hot form continues in the Australian Open

Before the commencement of the tournament, Gauff had a poor record on the hard courts of Australia. However, she has been able to turn things around as she races towards the quarters.

Interestingly enough, she has not dropped a set yet in her campaign. This shows the dominance with which she is playing. 

The young prodigy started the season in dominating fashion, winning the ASB Classic in Auckland. With seven of the top 10 seeds of the tournament eliminated from the tournament, Gauff has a pretty good chance to get her hands on her first Australian Open title. 

She will be up against either Maria Kostyuk or Maria Timofeeva in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
