Coco Gauff had a little difficulty adjusting to the sun at one end of Rod Laver Arena but quickly settled into a rhythm to start her Australian Open with a win.

Third-seeded Coco Gauff posted an eventful 6-3, 6-3 first-round win Monday over 2020 champion Sofia Kenin at the Australian Open in Melbourne. Gauff offset nine double faults with 12 aces and overcame 32 unforced errors by saving five of six break points in the 80-minute victory, her 11th first-round win in her past 12 Grand Slam events.
