Aus Open: Gauff, Osaka, Pegula, Sabalenka Pave Way To Third Round
Dutchwoman Suzan Lamens: American youngster Coco Gauff extended her winning streak to nine matches with a 6-3, 7-5 defeat of Jodie Burrage in the Australian Open second round.
The American had to come from 5-3 down in the second set to reel in the World No.173. Gauff's speed and consistency saw her ease to a 3-1 second-set lead over Burrage. However, the Briton threatened to turn the tables with a run of four straight games before Gauff responded with four straight of her own to get over the finishing line.
With a win, Aguff set up a third-round encounter with 2021 US Open finalist and No. 30 seed Leylah Fernandez, who defeated Cristina Bucsa 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 for a place in the third round.
