Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu
It has not been a day and things are already heating up at the 2023 Australian Open. Teen stars Emma Raducanu and Coco Gauff clinched their opening-round wins to set up a crunch second-round match.
Raducanu was up against Australian Open debutant and World No. 161 Tamara Korpatsch. Raducanu recorded a 6-3, 6-2 win on the 1573 Arena as she makes it to the second round yet again. Gauff, who opened the Rod Laver Arena this year, won her tie against doubles specialist Katerina Siniakova taking a 6-1, 6-4 win.
Both the teens finished the match at nearly the same time. The 2021 US Open winner won in 1 hour and 25 minutes while Gauff won in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Gauff is the seventh seed this year and with Raducanu ranked outside the Top 70, the two teens are locked in for a second-round clash.
