Australian Open 2024 is into its business end, with Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka headlining the women’s semifinal line-up. The two will take to court on Thursday (January 25), vying for a spot in the summit clash.
Also in action will be Dayana Yastremska, who continues to blaze through the field at this year’s tournament. The Ukrainian finds herself just two wins away from achieving what a certain Emma Raducanu did at the 2021 US Open — lifting a Grand Slam trophy after coming through the qualification rounds.
Yastremska ousted fellow giant-slayer Linda Noskova in the last match and now awaits the winner of the Zheng Qinwen-Anna Kalinskaya quarterfinal. It will, however, be Gauff and Sabalenka who will open the night session play at Rod Laver Arena.
Gauff dropped her first set of the tournament in her quarterfinal against Marta Kostyuk. But Sabalenka, who is also the defending Australian Open champion, has maintained her clean slate.
With some men’s and legends’ doubles in the mix too, there’s plenty to look forward to on Thursday. On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 12 of the Australian Open 2024:
