MELBOURNE -- Serena Williams said that she was "nowhere near" as good as 15-year-old Coco Gauff when she was that age as the American great reached the Australian Open third round Wednesday despite being far from her best.
The former world number one and Gauff -- touted as a possible long-term successor to Williams at the top of women's tennis -- spent some of the off-season together. "I know kids are growing up different nowadays, so I'm not sure. But I was nowhere near as smart and eloquent as she is.Gauff turfed Serena's older sister Venus out in the first round in Melbourne, having done the same at Wimbledon last year."Venus will outplay me, for sure, she loves tennis a lot," said Serena, who is in the twilight of her career but has given no hint that she plans to quit any time soon.
