Coco vs. Venus, Part II, in 1st round of Australian Open

Gauff, 15, the youngest woman in the Australian Open and Venus, the oldest, will meet again in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament.

Cori "Coco" Gauff of the U.S. celebrates after winning a point during her second round singles match against Germany's Laura Siegemund at the ASB Classic tennis in Auckland, New Zealand, Thursday, Jan 9, 2020.

The winner of Coco vs. Venus — no last names required — could meet defending champion Osaka in the third round. The winner there potentially faces Venus' younger sister, 23-time major winner Serena, in the quarterfinals. The second-ranked Djokovic has won a record seven Australian Open trophies and is coming off his unbeaten run at the inaugural ATP Cup, where he guided Serbia to the title. Federer hasn't added to his 20 Grand Slam titles since winning the Australian Open in 2018, his sixth title at Melbourne Park.

Serena Williams is aiming to equal the all-time record for most women's majors, held by Australia's Margaret Court.
