Coco Gauff's winning run came to an end against Paula Badosa in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.

The American third seed arrived in Melbourne as the most in-form player on tour after winning the WTA Finals to end last season and then all five singles matches at the United Cup, including one against Iga Swiatek.

She went into the last-eight tie with 11th seed Badosa on a 13-match winning streak but it was the Spaniard who came out on top in a 7-5 6-4 victory.
