Coco Gauff's winning run came to an end against Paula Badosa in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.
Coco Gauff's winning run came to an end against Paula Badosa in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open. The American third seed arrived in Melbourne as the most in-form player on tour after winning the WTA Finals to end last season and then all five singles matches at the United Cup, including one against Iga Swiatek. She went into the last-eight tie with 11th seed Badosa on a 13-match winning streak but it was the Spaniard who came out on top in a 7-5 6-4 victory.
'I think it's just a lot more work to do. I'm obviously disappointed, but I'm not completely crushed. I'm looking forward to a lot. Even though I lost today, I feel like I'm in an upward trajectory.' Gauff knows where she needs to improve Gauff said after her defeat that she was departing the Grand Slam with clear ideas on what to improve in a welcome contrast to how she felt after her US Open title defence ended last year.
