Coco Gauff at Australian Open 2023: Emma Raducanu tennis results, when is her next match - how to watch on TV

The American rising superstar Coco Gauff is in the third round of the Australian Open following her second round win over British number one Emma Raducanu. Gauff, 18, beat Katerina Siniakova 6-1 6-4 in her opening fixture before coming up against 2021 US Open champion, Raducanu. The seventh seed prevailed winning in two sets, 6-3 7-6 (7-4), thus ending Raducanu’s hopes of another Grand Slam title.

Speaking after the match, Gauff said: “I told myself to hang in there, Emma played really good tennis towards the end of the match. It was a good quality match for the most part. This was a long anticipated match-up so I’m glad it was a good match for the crowd.”

Her opponent, Raducanu, said of the match: “I think I had a lot of chances and I was creating quite a few. Losing obviously sucks a bit. Coco is a great mover, great athlete. She puts another ball in play, so you feel like you have to squeeze it closer to the line and then she teases errors out of you.”
