MELBOURNE, Australia—Coco Gauff stretched her unbeaten start to 2025 to seven matches and 14 sets by moving into the third round at the Australian Open with a 6–3, 7–5 victory over 173rd-ranked Jodie Burrage of Britain at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday.

Gauff, the 2023 U.S. Open champion and a semifinalist at Melbourne Park a year ago, went through a bit of a rough patch in the second set, struggling with double-faults and dropping four games in a row to go from a break up at 3–1 to a break down at 5–3.
