Coco Gauff vs Aryna Sabalenka preview
Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka have been so dominant of late that it's difficult to comprehend how they've only won a single grand slam each. One of them is odds-on to add to that tally this weekend, but who will it be? The women's semi-final is scheduled first in the evening session on Rod Laver Arena, meaning a solid start time of 7.30pm AEDT local time (8.30am GMT) on Thursday, 25th January.
That's 3.30am ET / 12.30am PT in the US in the early hours of Thursday.
She may be the No.2 seed, but since securing her maiden major title at Melbourne Park a year ago, Sabalenka has set the benchmark on the WTA Tour, though it hasn't yet translated to further slam successes. The 25-year-old powerhouse went on to reach two major semis and the US Open final, in which she was beaten by none other than Gauff, though in truth the match was plain-sailing for the Belarusian before an astonishing meltdown.
That was Gauff's breakthrough grand slam victory, and in the intervening period the 19-year-old has taken her game to a new level. However, the No.4 seed comes into this semi-final off the back of her shakiest display in a long time. Gauff hit 17 winners, nine double-faults and a staggering 51 unforced errors against Marta Kostyuk on Tuesday, none of which will fly against Sabalenka.
To see which way this tie goes as it happens, read on to see how to get Gauff vs Sabalenka live streams, and watch Australian Open 2024 from anywhere in the world.
