Coco Gauff Next Match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel and schedule | China Open 2024, QF
Coco Gauff will lock horns with surprise package Yuliia Starodubtseva in the quarterfinals of the 2024 China Open. The winner could either face Zhang Shuai or 15th seed Paula Badosa in the semifinals.
Gauff has been in great form in Beijing so far and seems to have put behind her disappointing North American hard-court swing. She beat Clara Burel in her opener and then followed it up with an equally impressive win against Katie Boulter. Up against fellow US Open champion Naomi Osaka in the third round, the pair were split at one set each when the Japanese star was forced to retire with a back injury.
Vying to make her second straight semifinal in the Chinese capital and more, here’s everything you need to know ahead of Gauff's quarterfinal clash at the 2024 China Open.
Where is Coco Gauff playing?
Gauff is competing at the 2024 China Open, the penultimate WTA 1000 event of the women’s tennis calendar. The event is held annually at the National Tennis Center in Beijing. She has a record of 7-1 at the venue, having previously reached the semifinals last year in her only appearance, where she lost to eventual champion Iga Swiatek.
Who is Coco Gauff playing against?
Gauff's quarterfinal opponent at the 2024 China Open is World No. 115 Yuliia Starodubtseva, who is yet to drop a set throughout the tournament.
Starodubtseva defeated Carol Zhao and Jang Su-Jeong in the qualifiers to secure a place in the main draw. She overcame Laura Siegemund, Katerina Siniakova, and Elina Avanesyan in the first three rounds. In the fourth round, she achieved the biggest win of her WTA career, beating 10th seed Anna Kalinskaya 7-5, 6-0 to reach her maiden WTA 1000 quarterfinal.
Starodubtseva recently reached the last eight at the Jasmin Open and holds a 7-7 win-loss record so far this year. Gauff and Starodubtseva have never played each other previously, so their head-to-head currently stands at 0-0.
