After attaining her WTA Tour quarter-final, american teenager Coco Gauff is set to break into the worlds leading 100 for the very first time.

Gauff has climbed to 94th at the rankings, closer to qualification for the Australian Open.
She dropped in Linz qualifying but entered the main draw.
Following Maria Sakkaris withdrawal, Gauff beat Swiss Stefanie Vogele on Tuesday and progressed again when Allied Kozlova stop while monitoring 6-4 4-6 0-2.
Gauff, that doesnt turn 16 before March, is the youngest player to reach an WTA quarter-final since Sesil Karatantcheva at January 2005.
The tournament is the first appearance since suffering a defeat, which left her in tears, by Naomi Osaka in the US Open last month of Gauff.
Gauff became the youngest participant in the Open era to reach the main draw and was given a wildcard to play Grand Slam in New York.
She is to qualify automatically moving into the primary draw in Melbourne, although most would expect her to receive a wildcard for the Australian Open.
