In her last Grand Slam quarterfinal, the Spaniard fell apart in New York. She took the lessons to Gauff in Melbourne, and won.

Paula Badosa advanced to her first Grand Slam semi-final at the third attempt after beating Coco Gauff at the Australian Open on Tuesday but the Spaniard said that just reaching the final four did not give her license to play with more freedom.

Coco Gauff’s quest for a return trip to the semifinals in Melbourne has come to an end. Spain’s Paula Badosa stunned Gauff and grabbed a 7-5, 6-4 win in straight sets in what was a hot battle at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday afternoon to earn her spot in the semifinals of the first Grand Slam of the year.
