An exciting quarterfinal showdown awaits at the Australian Open as third seed Coco Gauff takes on the resurgent Paula Badosa.
Gauff, fresh off a hard-fought comeback win against Belinda Bencic, has shown remarkable resilience and aggression, extending her unbeaten streak in 2025. The 20-year-old American is eyeing back-to-back semifinal appearances in Melbourne and a potential rematch with top seed Aryna Sabalenka.
Badosa, the 2024 WTA Comeback Player of the Year, has fought her way back from injury struggles, rising from No. 140 to No. 12 in the rankings.
The Spaniard’s journey to her third Grand Slam quarterfinal highlights her renewed confidence and determination. While Gauff leads their head-to-head encounters, Badosa’s powerful baseline game and experience could pose a serious challenge.
