American teenager Coco Gauff exits the Australian Open at the hands of fellow Yank Sofa Kenin
THE Coco Gauff fairy-tale is over after she lost her shot at history.
The 15-year-old American, who defeated the defending champion Naomi Osaka on Friday, was out-muscled and out-manoeuvred by fellow countrywoman Sofia Kenin in the last 16 of the Australian Open.

Gauff was attempting to become the youngest woman to reach the quarter-finals of a Slam since Bulgarian Sesil Karatantcheva excelled at the 2005 French Open – and only the eighth minor (Under-16) in the Open era.
Yet despite winning the first set on a tie-breaker and managing to react well whenever Kenin broke her serve, Gauff was bundled out of the tournament 6-7 6-3 6-0.
At the end of the two-hour battle, Kenin proved too strong and her experienced told in the decisive stages.
In spite of her exceptionally strong backhand, a fearless and fearsome weapon, Gauff hit SEVEN doubles faults and recorded an unforgivable 48 unforced errors.
Mistakes she will probably iron out with more matches and more time.
The third set, in particular, took just 33 minutes and was a crushing lesson against the No.14 seed that while her time will come, it is not quite now.

Kenin, 21, will now face Tunisian Ons Jabeur, and this is her first appearance in the last eight of a Major.
The Moscow-born star said: “It was such a tough match.
“She is such a tough player. All respect to her. It means a lot. I am happy to be through to the next round.
“I did the best I can. Coco is playing well.
“I had to focus on my own game, fight for every point, and not focus on anything else.”
Had Gauff made the last eight, she would have achieved the feat in only her THIRD Grand Slam.
That would have been accomplished quicker than the likes of legends Serena Williams (who took seven attempts), Steffi Graff (nine), Martina Hingis (five) and Billie Jean King (five).
Of the biggest names in this sport, only Margaret Court, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert managed to reach latter stages in shorter time.
That bodes well and she will be back. That's for sure.

Netmarble is working on a new RPG game for mobile devices called Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross, and it launches sometime this year.
Better yet this will be a global launch, which means it'll arrive for all regions around or at the same time. Netmarble is calling this a cinematic adventure RPG for mobile, so expect plenty of cutscenes.
The game is based off of the Seven Deadly Sins anime, so art style and visuals will reflect this. It's also likely that some of or all of the game's included cutscenes will be animated just like the show.
Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross is already up for pre-registration
If you like anime games and you're interested in checking this one out, you can pre-register for the game now on Google Play.
Pre-registering will also net you some rewards after the game launches. Which is pretty typical. As for the rewards, players who pre-register will get an in-game character, an in-game costume and weapon for that character, and some in-game currency.
The in-game currency will be 30 diamonds which is the premium currency, and 100,000 gold which is the normal in-game currency that will be used more often.
Players will also get a box that contains other various items, including a costume for Elizabeth who is the game's main heroine character.
There's no launch date yet
Netmarble hasn't said anything about an official launch date yet. Just that the game is coming in 2020.
That means it will launch sometime this year but it could be earlier or later. The game will feature the original cast of Japanese voice actors too, which should be a treat for anyone that has watched the show.
Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross will be a free game to play, and it will be a turn-based RPG that features both PvE and PvP gameplay. Such as Deathmatch, a 2-player co-op mode and more.
Like any turn-based RPG you'll be able to pick and choose your team members, level up and upgrade their skills and stats, and even dress them in unique costumes and outfits.
The game even has a cool augmented reality feature that lets you take pictures with AR versions of the characters. Something which should delight the biggest fans of the franchise.
Overall the game has a lot of different elements to it that should help to keep players engaged beyond story content and quests. Such as cooking, exploring new areas, an affection system that builds your relationship with your characters and more.
Trump tweets pastor's praise of his social media habits

President Trump on Saturday tweeted a quote from Pastor Robert Jeffress praising the president's use of social media.
The tweet came around same time Trump's defense team made its case rebutting allegations that the president committed impeachable offenses during the Senate impeachment trial Saturday morning.
The president quoted Jeffress's remarks that he made while on Lou Dobbs's Fox Business show on Friday night, a conversation that spanned from Trump's pro-life stance to his opponents on the impeachment stage.
According to Trump's tweet, Jeffress said, "I like President Trump's Tweets (Social Media), I like everything about him ... and this Ukraine stuff, the trial, the impeachment, this isn't about Ukraine."
According to Trump's tweet, Jeffress, who is also a member of the White House Faith Initiative, said that Trump had committed two unredeemable sins by Democrats' standards: beating Hillary Clinton in 2016 and delivering on his promises to the American people.
The tweet continued, "They're trying to get him out of office, and they're not going to succeed."
Trump then ended the quote and thanked the pastor for his words.
Trump made history recently being the first president to address the March for Life demonstrations in person on Friday. In Trump's speech, the president said, "Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House."
His appearance at March for Life has been lauded by pro-life activists as well as the Christian community. Jeffress himself spoke positively about the president's participation during his interview with Dobbs on Friday.
"What the president is doing it's certainly the right thing to do morally, he talked today about unborn children, reflecting the majesty of God," he said.
