Coco Gauff's bid for history at the Australian Open ended in tears in the last 16 on Sunday as the 15-year-old crashed out in three sets to fellow American Sofia Kenin.

The 14th seed Kenin recovered from a set down to win convincingly 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 6-0 and Gauff left the court crying.

Kenin plays Tunisia's unseeded Ons Jabeur after she defeated China's Wang Qiang to become the first Arab woman to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final.

"I just did the best I can. I just tried to take it like any other match," said Kenin, who also had tears in her eyes afterwards.

"I know she's (Gauff) playing well, I just tried to play my game and fight for every point and just not focus on anything else."
