Katie Boulter Falls to Kudermetova at Australian Open

Coco Gauff has continued her impressive form in 2025, winning her first two matches at the Australian Open in straight sets and extending her winning streak to nine matches. She will face Leylah Fernandez in the third round, who is looking to build momentum after a challenging victory in her previous match. Meanwhile, British number one Katie Boulter's hopes for a deep run ended in disappointment as she lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the second round, failing to progress beyond this stage for the 15th time. Kudermetova's experience proved decisive, as she capitalized on Boulter's unforced errors. Jack Draper also advanced to the third round after a dramatic comeback against Thanasi Kokkinakis, and he will face Aleksandar Vukic next. The tournament is shaping up with notable matchups as players vie for the title in Melbourne.
