The 15-year-old American tennis player, Coco Gauff, repeated victory in the first round of a Grand Slam by defeating the same opponent as in the past Wimbledon, her compatriot Venus Williams, with a score of 7-6(5) and 6-3.

The youngest player in history to play in the main draw of the Australian Open managed to win a decisive tiebreak in the first set and mentally break down her 39-year-old opponent Venus, who would then lose the second set with a score of 6-3.

The Atlanta player will face Romanian Sorana Cirstea in the next round, who defeated the favorite Barbara Strykova with a score of 6-2 and 7-6(5).
