America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff has jokingly picked Italy’s Jannik Sinner ahead of the Big Three in the recent interaction with Australia’s Nick Kyrgios.

The first Grand Slam of the year is set to begin in less than 48 hours in Melbourne where players from all over the world will participate and battle it out to secure the ultimate prize.

Players are putting their hard yards on the court in order to get ready for the test ahead of them and Gauff is doing no different.

During one of her training sessions, the 19-year-old was asked by Kyrgios who she would rather practice with out of current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, Spain’s legendary Rafael Nadal, former world number Switzerland’s Roger Federer or Sinner who was practicing on the court that time.

In response to that, the reigning US Open champions jokingly responded by saying: “Well he’s right here so… (giggling)… Jannik.”

Gauff will be starting the mega-event as one of the favourites, especially after lifting the last Grand Slam played on hard court in New York where she defeated the current world number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the final with a score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–2.
