The new tennis season is finally about to start with the approaching end of the festivities and the “Australian Summer” knocking on the door. Here some Instagram updated by Naomi Osaka, Cori Gauff, Genie Bouchard, Anett Kontaveit.
Naomi is about to commence her run in Brisbane to then try to defend her Australian Open title under the guidance of her new coach Wim Fissette. The Japanese sensation posts a nice picture with her (now) trademark wig. She had a similar one in Tokyo where she tried not to get noticed by the crowd while walking on the street.
Cori Gauff looking scary
The upcoming American is one of the most interesting prospect on tour. At her young age, she is already a threat for everyone on tour. She posted a rather “aggressive” picture on Instagram. Is she trying to scare off her competition? Coco will kick start her 2020 in Auckland.
