Australian Open: Coco Gauff reveals too much and Carlos Alcaraz enjoys time with young fan

Coco Gauff discusses using the bathroom while wearing her outfit, Paula Badosa offers her boyfriend the chance to do better, and a young fan warms hearts in Melbourne.

Here are the five quick hits from day six of the Australian Open, including when the Aussies are playing on day seven.

1. Coco overshares her bathroom procedure

Ever forgotten where you were while having a conversation before and overshared?

Bet you've never explained how you use the bathroom in the clothes you're wearing while on national television before.

Coco Gauff has. She let everyone know that she can use the bathroom just fine in her shmick new Marvel-inspired bodysuit.

"It is definitely comfortable, but people have been wondering how I used the bathroom in it, so I posted a video on Instagram stories showing everyone," she said.

"Not actually demonstrating how I do it!

Thanks for sharing, Coco.

Whilst laughing embarrassingly, she added: "That was too much information, I don't know when to shut up".

All of this toilet chat came after her emphatic straight sets win against Leylah Fernandez.

Now, while tennis fans may have been confused as to how Gauff uses the bathroom in her yellow bodysuit, no one is confused about her current form.

She looked at her best in this match, and is confident going into the next round where she faces Belinda Bencic.

2. Melbourne has a new comeback king

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina wants to give fans value for money.

Less than 48 hours after he came from two sets down to defeat Canadian 29th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, the 25-year-old Spaniard did it again.

Anyone would be forgiven for thinking Davidovich Fokina had nothing left in the tank when he was two sets down against rising teenage star Jakub Mensik.

Getting the third set to a tie break was a valiant effort and would have been enough to satisfy fans. But he saved two match points, won the set, and then finished with a wet sail to claim another terrific five-set comeback.

The match was long and intense, so much so that the Spaniard forgot Mensik twice had match point.

"I didn't remember that I saved two match points, I was so focused on every point and winning the tie break," he said while laughing.

"I don't know how to describe this feeling you know, winning here in Australia is special for me.

"I am very happy for the comeback."

Davidovich Fokina will come up against 12th-seed American Tommy Paul in the fourth round. It is only the second time he has made it this far in a grand slam, also making the fourth round of the US Open in 2022.

3. Badosa offers boyfriend racquet to prove he can do better

Sometimes advice from your partner is not what you need.

Spanish 11th seed Paula Badosa navigated a tricky match-up against Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk to advance to the fourth round at Melbourne Park.

Badosa needed three sets to get past the 17th seed 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in a two-and-a-half hour battle.

The second set was very tough for the Spaniard who found herself down 0-5.

Sitting in her chair she looked up to her boyfriend Stefanos Tsitsipas — who suffered a shock first round exit in the men's draw — to vent her frustration.

Like any good partner, Tsitsipas tried reassurance and gestured to Badosa to calm down. That didn't work.

Badosa grabbed another racquet and held it out, gesturing to her Greek partner that if he should come and try to do better in what was hot and windy conditions.

The exchange did inspire Badosa to win the next four games, before ultimately losing the second set.

Once victory was secured, however, Badosa was full of love and praise for her supportive partner.

"He (Tsitsipas) was very supportive giving me amazing tips. He was supporting me at every point," she said.

"I think he was more nervous than me."

4. Young John proves Australia still has the 'Happy Open'

Sometimes it is the little things that are worth getting excited about.

For young fan John, you could not wipe the enormous smile off his face as he tossed the coin for Carlos Alcaraz.

Young John asked Alcaraz to call the toss, with the Spanish third seed choosing the side of the coin that says "AO".

Alcaraz won the toss and young John was ecstatic. He jumped with excitement saying, "It is AO!".

Alcaraz, a crowd favourite wherever he goes, joined in the excitement of John with a little jump. The photo that Alcaraz, John, and Portugal's Nuno Borges shared would warm the coldest of hearts as the young kid had a grin from ear to ear, clearly loving his moment with the stars.

John then made sure to bring the crowd in on the fun as he ran off court, skipping and waving to those in Rod Laver Arena who gave him a massive cheer.

Carlos and John were not done, with the Spanish grand slam winner inviting the youngster to his press conference.

As talk about fan behaviour dominated much of the discussion at Melbourne Park on day six, seeing John relish his moment was a timely reminder that the first grand slam of the year is still the 'Happy Open'.
