Coco Gauff vs Alycia Parks preview
The week of Martin Luther King Jr. Day is set to close out with an all-American clash in the third round of the women's singles draw at the 2024 Australian Open, with the prodigious Cori 'Coco' Gauff butting up against the big serving Georgian Alycia Parks. The start time of this match will depend on what happens on court beforehand, but the order of play says it will be approximately 2pm AEDT local time (3am GMT) on Friday, 19th January.
That's 10pm ET / 7pm PT in the US on Thursday, 18th January.
At the tender age of 19, Gauff realized her potential in the sport winning last year's US Open. Now it's all about emulating her hero Serena Williams and establishing major success over a prolonged period. That starts at Melbourne Park, where she is yet to lose a set – or, honestly, breaking into a sweat – in reaching the third round.
With seeds dropping like flies all around her, the path to surpassing her previous best Down Under of the fourth round is looking clearer and clearer. A mouth-watering US Open final rematch with reigning champion Aryna Sabalenka awaits if both players avoid upsets through to the quarters.
But in Alycia Parks, Gauff faces a foe who has already claimed the scalp of a seed in this tournament. She defeated Canadian Leylah Fernandez in straight sets on Wednesday and, standing at 6' 1" tall, has the kind of power that could just rattle her teenaged compatriot.
To see who prevails in this battle of the stars and stripes, read on to see how to get Gauff vs Parks live streams and watch Australian Open 2024 tennis from anywhere in the world.
