Australian Open Round 2: Coco Gauff vs Elina Svitolina match preview

An exciting clash is on the cards for tennis fans as we go into Day 4 of the Australian Open 2021. 16-year-old Coco Gauff will lock horns with the 26-year-old Elina Svitvolina for a place in the third round of the Slam. Both ladies have come into this round after straight-set wins in Round 1, with Gauff making easy work of Swiss Jil Teichmann 6-3, 6-2 and Svitolina putting up a second set fight against Maria Bouzkova 6-3, 7-6(5). 

While Gauff may be the crowd puller, what with her sensational arrival to the Slams, Svitolina is no small scalp. A decade more experienced than the teenager and ranked considerably higher, at No.5, Svitolina has been charting a steady rise in the world of women’s tennis. The Ukrainian star has two Australian Open quarterfinal appearances in the bank to go along with her two semi-finals at Wimbledon and one at the US Open in 2019. 

She comes into the Slam having reached the quarter-finals of the Abu Dhabi Open in January and the Gippsland Trophy event last week. Meanwhile, Gauff, who, for her age is playing an incredibly impressive 7th Grand Slam, is only ranked No.48. Her best performances in the Grand Slams have been Round 4 appearances at the Australian Open in 2020 and at Wimbledon in 2019. The youngster has also struggled to go deep in any tournament since the Top Seed Open in August 2020.
