15-year-old beats seven-times Grand slam winner 7-6, 6-3 Gauff also knocked out Williams in
Wimbledon first round Coco Gauff shone on her
Australian Open debut on Monday as she knocked Venus Williams out of the first round in a repeat of her stunning victory over the seven-times Grand Slam champion in the Wimbledon opener last year.
With the 15-year-old Gauff now a top 100 player – and 39-year-old Venus having been a doubt for the tournament with a hip injury – it was far less of a surprise to see the teenager come through 7-6 (5) 6-3 under the roof on Margaret Court Arena.
