Coco Gauff starts her Australian Open with straight-sets win over Sofia Kenin; Tsitsipas the first big name to exit

Hindustan Times  

Coco Gauff had a little difficulty adjusting to the sun at one end of Rod Laver Arena and dropped an early service game but quickly settled into a rhythm to start her Australian Open with a 6-3, 6-3 win Monday over 2020 champion Sofia Kenin. Coco Gauff of the U.S. shakes hands with Sofia Kenin of the U.S. after winning her first round match Third-seeded Gauff won the title at the WTA Finals last November and started this season by helping the U.S. to victory at the United Cup last week, a run that gives her a chance to move atop the rankings. It was tough going early, with Gauff converting an early break before Kenin got back on serve at 2-2, hitting deep ground strokes and getting good bounce off the hard court. After a stop-start Day 1 on Sunday, including more than six hours of rain, Monday’s packed program also includes matches for 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, defending champion Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and women's No.
