an unknown 15—year—old knocking venus williams out of wimbledon.her one of the sporting stars of 2019. from london's lawns to the hard courts in australia, a lot has changed in the last 12 months for coco gauff but a lot of things remain the same. same round, same opponent and the same score. coco gauff took control from the tie—break. and taking control from there. once again, a battle of the ages. coco gauff was more than matched for everything the older pro had had. venus had won four grand slam titles before coco gauff was born but she could not make that experience count. there were flashes of her best game but they were few and far between. coco gauff wrapped it up in straight sets. just like at wimbledon. the 15—year—old claimed 619 places in the world rankings in 2019. she is not finished there. my goal is to be the greatest and win as many grand slams as possible. i believe i can beat anyone. if it happens, i do not know. the great players, they do not fear anyone. as one of the greats of the game heads home from melbourne park on day one,

coco gauff introducing herself to the world when she made a brilliant run at wimbledon last year.y met at the us open last year and it was osaka who came out on top. it will be fascinating to see how this plays out. let's hear from be fascinating to see how this plays out. let's hearfrom coco gauff be fascinating to see how this plays out. let's hear from coco gauff who says she will not be overall to the occasion. i respect everyone's game andl occasion. i respect everyone's game and i respect my opponent but i can't go in thinking i will lose because that is not the right mentality. i believe i can beat everyone. if it happens, i don't know, but the great ones, they do not fear anyone. you respect your opponent but you cannot go into a match fearing someone because then you will lose and i do not want to lose. such a mature approach from such a young player. and then after her, roger federer and john millman, another home favourite. he is an australian. so the support we see for ashleigh barty, if anyone has a ticket forjohn millman at the rod lever later, that will be a great a

it was quite a chasing experience and wimbledon last year when you came across another top player barty from all these experiences and for me it is just being able to continue to improve and ifi being able to continue to improve and if i keep doing that i can definitely keep challenging the top players and hopefully in the near to distant future get some wins. i consider most of the late bloomer, and 23, you see a lot of teenagers break through but that wasn't me. the austrian open is reaching the sharp end now, how do you see the women's tournament shaping up? who do you think will be the eventual champion? i think it looks to me that there will be a barty halep final but everyone plays whitaker tennis and i think there'll be some really matches. —— everyone plays really matches. —— everyone plays really good tennis. a little bit of the weight on your shoulders and heather watson, you have a big fed cup qualifier coming up next week to get through to these newly revamped finals. it is unfortunate that joe couldn't be with us but she had to make the best choice for her health andi make

so you don't tend to get a backlog of matches that you would do, say, at wimbledon, which we know hasad one roof over centre court. and obviously here five matches played on those show courts every day. so you don't quite get the backlog. obviously yesterday was an unusual day, it is fair to say. i don't think we expected to see rain quite like that. 96 matches will have to be played to a conclusion today as a result of that hangover from the weather yesterday. but it won't cause huge problems, and speaking to the tournament organisers here today, they were saying they are not expecting rain quite as badly as we saw yesterday. possibly a few showers, but they will clear through those matches, they are confident in that, and there shouldn't be any major delays to the schedule as we had deeper into this first week. i will leave you now with those lovely eucalyptus trees in the background, i am not jealous at all. there are 1a games in the nba on monday, including the toronto raptors. as the league shows its appreciation for martin luther king its appreciation for martin luther kinng. da
