About this listen
Coco Gauff, the world number three and reigning Roland Garros champion, has been the talk of the tennis world as the Australian Open looms. Just days ago on January 13, Tennis Now reported ESPN analysts Christopher Eubanks and Patrick McEnroe breaking down her ideal game plan for Melbourne, praising the variety she unleashed in her stunning 6-4, 6-2 straight-sets demolition of world number two Iga Swiatek at the United Cup semifinals last weekend. Eubanks, a close hitting partner, called it textbook tennis, urging Gauff to mix high-kicking forehands with flat backhand lasers, leveraging her unmatched speed to chase a first AO final after semis in 2024 and quarters last year. Sports Illustrated confirmed on January 12 that her Sydney heroics, including a 3-1 record, propelled her back to number three in the WTA rankings, overtaking Amanda Anisimova with 6,423 points.
Earlier in the tournament, drama swirled around Gauffs candid social media clarification on January 5, as detailed by Associated Press and Tennis.com, where she addressed calling American fans the worst in tennis for lacking the flag-waving passion of smaller nations supporters. Posting right before a shocking 6-1, 6-7, 6-0 singles loss to Spains Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, she insisted it was just an observation from attendees already at events, not a travel gripe, and Team USA still clinched the tie thanks to her mixed doubles win with Christian Harrison. Harrison later gushed to The Tennis Gazette about their chemistry, while Gauff gave a pumped on-court interview after topping Swiatek, per United Cup YouTube footage.
Buzz is building for tonights One Point Slam exhibition on Rod Laver Arena, where The Express says Gauff joins Carlos Alcaraz and stars like Jannik Sinner against amateurs for a cool million bucks, though she admitted at United Cup its not her fave but good prep. Pro Football Network caught her yesterday scouting opponents, barely containing her laughs. No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but her AO trajectory could redefine her legacy.
