Gauff is in the hunt for her third Grand Slam title, although the Australian Open has eluded her for years. Her best run at the iconic tournament came in 2024, when she reached the semi-finals, but ultimately fell to World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who won the title.
There will be some familiar faces in Gauff’s path throughout the competition, including Marketa Vondrousova, Mirra Andreeva and fellow American Emma Navarro, who are in her section of the draw.
Here’s everything you need to know about Coco Gauff’s appearance at the Australian Open, including the latest tournament results.
