Coco Gauff vs jodie burrage: Australian open 2025,Match today
Coco Gauff has had a great start to the new season, marked by wins over top WTA players including Karolina Muchova and Iga Swiatek in thethe semi-finals and final of the 2024-25 United Cup respectively. He almost single-handedly led his country to its second United Cup win and entered the Australian Open 2025 as the third seed.
In Melbourne, the American started confidently against fellow American and former Grand Slam champion Sofia Kenin, who despite her best efforts could only win six games in both sets and eventually lost 6–3, 6–3. Although Gauff was not at her best (including eight double faults), the American managed to get the better of Kenin to advance to the new round.
After defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open final, Gauff has not had a good run at the Major Slams and considering her current form, the 20-year-old will get her chance. Last year, she was defeated by the Belarusian in the semi-finals of the 2024 Australian Open and then lost to Jessica Pegula in the French Open semi-finals.
Gauff also had a poor Paris Olympics, leading to several early exits at subsequent competitions, including the US Open, where she was defending her title. However, the American reminded everyone of her skills by defeating Iga Swiatek and Qianwen Zheng at the WTA Finals and ended the year on a high note.
Coco Gauff has won all her matches in 2025 and hopes to carry her form into the opening round of the Australian Open. Following her emphatic win over Sofia Kenin, the American has reminded everyone of her capabilities moving forward.
Her opponent in the second round, Jodie Anna Burrage, began her 2025 season at the ASB Classic Qualifiers, where she had a first-round win over Vivian Yang, but lost to Hailey Baptiste in the later rounds.
She then competed at the Adelaide International, but failed to qualify for the final round, losing to Leyla Fernandez in the qualifiers.
Using the protected ranking, Burrage has reached the final round of the Australian Open in 2025.

Last season was a bit of an ups and downs for Coco Gauff. He started 2024 with an impressive win at the ASB Classic, before also making it to the SF round of the 2024 Australian Open. In June, she also managed to reach the last eight of the French Open, but could not advance after losing to five-time Major winner Iga Swiatek.
There was a dry run in between when she could not win the title. But the drought soon ended in October. She won the China Open by defeating Karolina Muchova of Czechia in the final. She capped off the 2024 season with a title win at the WTA Finals in Riyadh in November. Not to mention the fact that he has also maintained his top 3 position in the world rankings.
But the 20-year-old American didn’t stop there as she led her country to a second United Cup title earlier this month, marking a great start to the new season. In the final of the event, she defeated Iga Swiatek with an impressive score of 6–4, 6–4. In her 2025 Australian Open campaign, Gauff easily finished ahead of compatriot Sofia Kenin. She defeated the latter 6–3, 6–3 and reached the second round. Will she be able to continue this winning streak further?

Britain’s Jodie Burrage in the second round of the 2025 Australian Open on Wednesday, 15 January. The 2023 US Open champion, Gauff, has been in sublime form lately, having won eight consecutive matches and 14 consecutive sets.
The American’s last loss was in the Round-Robin of the WTA Finals (against Barbora Krejcikova), but Gauff still reached the semifinal and defeated World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and Qinwen Zheng to win the title.
The 20-year-old won all her matches at the United Cup 2025 without dropping a set, including beating World No. 2 Iga Swiatek in the final. In the first round of the 2025 Australian Open, Gauff knocked out the 2020 Australian Open champion and compatriot, Sofia Kenin 6-3, 6-3.
French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean 6-2, 6-4 in the first round at Melbourne Park. The 25-year-old started the 2025 season in Auckland, where she lost in the second round of qualifying, but entered the main draw as the lucky loser.
Besides her impressive run of results lately, Coco Gauff also boasts an impressive record at Melbourne Park. She has won 13 out of 18 matches at the venue so far.
Last year Gauff was beaten in the semifinal by the eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-7(2), 4-6. With this year’s projected draw setting them up for a potential semifinal clash once again, the American would be looking to go deep and defeat the Belarusian this time around.
Meanwhile, Coco Gauff’s 2R opponent Jodie Burrage had never won a match in the main draw at the Australian Open before. In her only previous main draw appearance at Melbourne Park last year, she was beaten 6-2, 3-6, 0-6 by Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch.
