That Would Be Pretty Cool Coco Gauff On American Players Sweeping The Australian Open Singles Titles

In fact, some of the biggest matches from the first week in Melbourne have seen American players shine. Mackenzie McDonald and Michael Mmoh’s upset wins over Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev, respectively, and Coco Gauff’s own dismissal of Emma Raducanu have been among the notable victories.

The performances have also given way to conversations about players from the US contending for the title and Gauff, for one, is all for it. Speaking about the same in the press conference following her third-round win over Bernarda Pera, the youngster said it would be “pretty cool” if American players won both singles titles in Melbourne.

Elaborating, Gauff said while the American women have been thriving on the tour for a while now, it was nice to see the men finally beginning to “catch up” in terms of results.
