Coco Gauff is having another remarkable run in a slam after she reached the 3rd round at the Australian Open. The American sensation has the opportunity to have a rematch against Naomi Osaka that demolished her at the recent US Open with a harsh 6-3 6-0 scoreline.

The 15-year-old doesn’t seem to be intimidated at all by the Australian Open champion and she explained what is going to do to beat the Japanese.

During the on-court interview that followed her turbulent win over Sorana Cirstea, Coco commented: “I think at the US Open I was nervous. It was my first time on the Arthur Ashe Stadium. We’re both familiar with each other’s games. She plays really aggressive. This time coming in I’m going to be more aggressive.”

PREDICTION, HEAD TO HEAD

The H2H between Coco and Naomi is still 1-0. This time the former world no.1 may win in 3 sets.
