15 Year Old Tennis Phenom Coco Gauff Continues To Be Unbelievable As She Takes Down The Number 4 Player In The World At the Aussie Open

Coco Gauff might be the coolest person in the world. She's 15 years old and taking down everyone in her path down under. Venus Williams was the first victim. She then needed a come from behind effort to take down the tricky Sorana Cirsta. And last night/early this morning she mopped up the 3rd ranked women's player in the world, Naomi Osaka in straight sets. Light work. No big deal. 

Want to grasp how young Gauff is? A majority of the players in this year's Aussie Open JUNIOR event are older than her. When she wakes up later today she's going to do homework for her online classes. FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. Insanity. Imagine giving one ounce of care in the world about homework right now? You're in the 4th round of the Australian Open!??! What the hell were you doing at 15? Nothing. That's what. You were contributing nothing to the world. Coco Gauff is becoming a global superstar. She can't even believe it herself. After the match she asked, "What is my life?"

I didn't give her much of a chance today against Osaka and that's on me. These two played last year in the US Open and it wasn't close, in favor of Osaka. Gauff said she would come out more aggressive tonight, learning from her mistakes. Well, I'd say she did just that. Osaka didn't stand a chance with the power coming from Coco's racket. 

Onwards we go with this unbelievable story. The Gauff train refuses to stop for anyone. Next up? 21 year old American Sofia Kenin which should make for an awesome match. 

P.S. Just forget everything I said about betting the Aussie Open. Went a cool 1-6 last night. Thank god Roger just pulled that match out of his ass or I would've managed to lose both future picks in the same night. Idiot.
