Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley is predicting that Coco Gauff will rise to the occasion at Melbourne Park this year and end Aryna Sabalenka's reign. In the last two years, the Belarusian tennis star clinched back-to-back Australian Open titles - and she did it pretty impressively - by losing just one set in those 14 matches played.
Swiatek had an up-close look, losing to Gauff in the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia in November and in the final of the United Cup team event last week in Sydney. Both were straight-set results and came after Swiatek had led their head-to-head series 11-1.
