No. 3 seed Coco Gauff able to "step up my level" at the right time to dispatch Jodie Burrage in second round at Melbourne.

MELBOURNE, Australia — There’s a young woman who looks a lot like Coco Gauff at Melbourne Park for the Australian Open. She has the same fiery, competitive eyes, the same tendency to break out in a giggle in the middle of a sentence and the same number of titles.

After winning her first round match at this year’s Australian Open, Coco Gauff sent a message back to Los Angeles where the wildfires continue to cause widespread devastation.

Coco Gauff stretched her unbeaten start to 2025 to seven matches and 14 sets by moving into the third round at the Australian Open.

Women's tennis star Coco Gauff extended her winning streak to 11 matches and advanced to the third round of the Australian Open with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Britain’s Jodie Burrage on Wednesday at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Despite some challenges in the second set, Gauff remained composed to secure her seventh straight win of 2025.

For shoes, Gauff wore a pair of New Balance Coco CG2 sneakers. The shoe is a white mesh upper featuring green accents. It is a mid-cut silhouette and has a dual-density FuelCell midsole to help drive the wearer forward. The mudguards are made of leather and suede.

MELBOURNE–No party animal, Australian Open contender Coco Gauff said she might celebrate her coming 21st birthday by tackling an escape room rather than putting on a big bash with friends back in Miami.

The next opponent of Coco Gauff has embraced the prospect of coming up against the No. 3 seed in the second round of the Australian Open.
