MELBOURNE, Australia — Coco Gauff<\/a> became the first woman through to the quarterfinals at the Australian Open on Sunday as she beat Magdalena Frech<\/a> 6-1, 6-2.<\/p>\n

The fourth-ranked Gauff, who won her first major at the US Open in September, needed just 63 minutes for victory in a match played at Rod Laver Arena in front of the man himself.<\/p>\n

“Luckily, when I saw him come in, I was already well up,” Gauff said of Laver. “I heard clapping and knew it wasn’t for us; it was only the first set. But thank you for coming; it’s an honor.”<\/p>\n

Gauff will play Marta Kostyuk<\/a> or Maria Timofeeva<\/a> next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
