An "emotional" Paula Badosa of Spain stunned the world number three American Coco Gauff 7-5, 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena and will face defending champion Aryna Sabalenka or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the last four.

Coco Gauff and two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka have moved closer to another semifinal showdown at the Australian Open. Gauff eliminated 2021 U.S.

Coco Gauff is backing Novak Djokovic's proposal to introduce some kind of a show to tennis matches but acknowledges that it will likely need to be something short because tennis doesn't have regular halftimes like some other sports.
