Coco Gauff beat Naomi Osaka in the AustralianOpen, becoming the youngest player to beat a top-five opponent in a women's tour-level match since Jennifer Capriati in 1991.
MELBOURNE, Australia — Coco Gauff plays nothing like what her age — still just 15 — or her ranking — 67th and rapidly rising — would suggest.
After the match, during her on-court interview, Gauff turned into a rather typical teen, joking about wanting to take"a selfie for Instagram" with Rod Laver, the 11-time major champion after whom the stadium is named. Gauff pulled this off with some big serving, consistent groundstrokes and by letting Osaka largely be her own undoing.
Another: She is taking online classes and said she's been given permission to turn in homework late, “considering the circumstances.”
