Coco Gauff vs. Aryna Sabalenka
- When: Thursday, Jan 25. at 3:30am ET
Only twice this tournament has Gauff had to play more than a couple of sets. Coco required a tiebreaker to win the first set over Caroline Dolehide in her second round match. After winning the tiebreaker, Coco cruised in the second set 6-2.
Then in the quarterfinals, Marta Kostuk pushed Gauff, forcing a tiebreaker set in the first and then winning a tiebreaker 7-3 in the second set. But in the third, Coco rallied with a dominating 6 games to 2 victory.
No doubt, Gauff is playing excellent tennis. However, she faces a player that’s on fire in the semis.
Forget losing sets or having to play in tiebreakers. Aryan Sabalenka has yet to lose more than 3 games in any set at the 2024 Aussie Open. The excellent performance includes dominating Barbora Krejcikova 6-2, 6-3 in the quarters.
Gauff, though, has beaten Sabalenka in 3-of-5 matches, including taking her down at the U.S. Open. But this feels different. Sabalenka is on a mission. So although Coco can win this, the chalk gets the nod.
2024 Australian Open Pick: Coco Gauff +3.5 -115
Dayana Yastremska vs. Zheng Qinwen
- When: Thursday, Jan 25. at 5:00am ET
Although she had to qualifying for the first major of the year, the underdog in this is playing lights out. Dayana Yastremska has lost a single set and played one tiebreaker during the 2024 Aussie Open.
Yastremska’s lost set came versus 18-seed Victoria Azarenka in her fourth round match. Dayana bounced back in the third set to take down Azarenka 6-4.
Then in the quarters, Yastremska was an underdog versus the women that knocked out Iga Swiatek, 19-year-old Linda Noskova. The Ukrainian beat the teenager 6-3, 6-4 in straight sets.
Zheng Qinwen, the 21-year-old Chinese phenom, dropped the first set in her quarters match against Alina Kalinskaya. But after losing the first set, Qinwen rolled in the next two sets, winning the second 6-3 and the third 6-1. Qinwen is at the top of her game. The favorite not only wins, but she covers.
2024 Australian Open Pick: Zheng Qinwen -3.5 -112
