World No.3 Coco Gauff bowed out in the Round of 16, but the 20-year-old is confident that she is on the right track as she reworks her game and technique for the long haul.

Add it all up, and Gauff's trip to Melbourne Park — and her 13-match winning streak that dated to late last season — ended in the quarterfinals. Never able to take control on a hot afternoon in Rod Laver Arena, the 2023 U.S. Open champion was eliminated by No. 11 Paula Badosa of Spain 7-5, 6-4.
