MELBOURNE, Australia — There’s a young woman who looks a lot like Coco Gauff at Melbourne Park for the Australian Open. She has the same fiery, competitive eyes, the same tendency to break out in a giggle in the middle of a sentence and the same number of titles.

American star Coco Gauff began her Australian Open campaign with a 6-3, 6-3 win over former champion Sofia Kenin in a tricky opening contest at Melbourne Park on Monday.

After winning her first round match at this year’s Australian Open, Coco Gauff sent a message back to Los Angeles where the wildfires continue to cause widespread devastation.
