MELBOURNE: Unseeded 15-year-old Coco Gauff beat reigning champion Naomi Osaka in straight sets in a major upset at the Australian Open on Friday. Two years ago I lost the first round in the juniors and now I'm here -- this is crazy," said Gauff. The teenager Gauff, who spent time training with Serena Williams in the off-season, had said she would be less nervous and more aggressive this time round. Coco Gauff of the US greets Japan's Naomi Osaka at the end of their women's singles match on day five of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne. That first clash was memorable also for what happened afterwards, when the teenager cried and Osaka consoled her, before Osaka herself began welling up.
