3rd Seed Coco Gauff Loses to 11th Seed Paula Badosa in #AO2025 Quarterfinals [Video]

3rd seed Coco Gauff has lost to 11th seed Paula Badosa in the Australian Open Quarterfinals.

Newsone Nigeria reports that Spanish professional tennis player, Paula Badosa has defeated America’s Coco Gauff to reach the semi-finals of the ongoing 2025 Australian Open.

This online news platform understands that Coco Gauff was America’s last hope for a women’s singles title in the 2025 Australian Open after Jessica Pegula was eliminated by Olga Danilovic two rounds ago.

Gauff’s opponent in the quarterfinals, Spanish star Paula Badosa, had never advanced further than the quarterfinals in any Grand Slam event in her career. But, all streaks must come to an end.

No. 3 seed Gauff, the heavy favorite in the match, would wind up losing in straight sets (7-5, 6-4) to Badosa, the No. 11 seed. This was Badosa’s first-ever win over a top-10 opponent at a major, and it also propelled her to her first Grand Slam semifinal.
