Coco Gauff of the U.S. makes a backhand return to Japan's Naomi Osaka during their third round singles match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, Friday, Jan. 24, 2020.
Gauff became the youngest player in the professional era to eliminate the reigning women's champion at the Australian Open, beating former No. 1 Naomi Osaka 6-3, 6-4 in the third round at Melbourne Park on Friday. She is also the youngest player to beat a top-five opponent in a women's tour-level match since Jennifer Capriati did it at 15 in 1991.It was the second significant result of Day 5 in Melbourne: In the same quarter of the bracket, 23-time major champion Serena Williams lost to 27th-seeded Wang Qiang 6-4, 6-7 , 7-5 earlier.
One reminder of just how young Gauff is: Most of the entrants in this year's junior Australian Open are older than she is.
