MELBOURNE, Australia – American tennis star Coco Gauff continued her impressive form at the 2025 Australian Open, showcasing resilience against Britain’s Jodie Burrage. Gauff secured a 6-3, 7-5 victory, thus extending her unbeaten streak to an impressive 11 matches, including her previous four wins at the WTA Finals in November. The 19-year-old, who is seeded third in the tournament, initially appeared to have control but encountered difficulties in the second set, dropping four consecutive games. "It was tough. She was serving really well," Gauff mentioned, highlighting Burrage's sudden surge in performance.

Despite hitting a total of seven double-faults throughout the match, Gauff managed to maintain a stable baseline game, contributing to Burrage's unforced errors—37, in total, compared to Gauff’s 11. The final stages of the match saw Burrage struggle under pressure, ultimately losing two crucial service games due to double faults in a thrilling finish.

Having navigated her way through this challenge, Gauff now looks ahead to another tough match against Leylah Fernandez, who recently came off a come-from-behind victory against Cristina Bucsa. "We'll see two days from now if it makes a difference or not," Gauff remarked, hinting at her focused preparation.

The young American's steady progress and determination on the court underscore her status as a major contender at this prestigious event. With several matches still to be played, fans eagerly anticipate how far Gauff can go in her quest for another Grand Slam title.
