Coco Gauff is about to start the Australian Open campaign against her childhood idol Venus Williams. The former world no.1 had already experienced “Coco’s power” when she had to bow to the teenager during the last Wimbledon.
However, even if Coco was highly successful at SW19, she knows pretty well that she needs to step up again in Melbourne if she wants to beat Venus. Coco published some nice pictures and videos of her training at the Rod Laver Arena. However, she will face Venus at the Margaret Court Arena as the 3rd match of the day session.
