MELBOURNE : Coco Gauff burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old and was quickly touted as the"next big thing" but the American said on Monday the pressure she faced paled in comparison to that heaped on the shoulders of British standard-bearer Emma Raducanu.
Raducanu was the first Briton in 45 years to win a Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows in 2021 but she is unseeded in Melbourne after falling down the rankings during an injury-ravaged season last year. "Especially being from the U.K., the first British person to do something in a long time, probably is a lot more pressure than what I'm used to being an American.
Gauff, whose best Grand Slam result is runner-up at the French Open last year, said Serena Williams was the player her compatriots looked to before the 23-times major winner retired.
