Australian Open semifinals 2024.
Djokovic and Sabalenka have the opportunity to defend their titles again this year.
Aryna Sabalenka is once again through to the semifinals after a convincing 6-2, 6-3 victory over Barbora Krejcikova, showcasing Sabalenka's excellent form at the moment. In the semifinals, she will face the American prodigy Coco Gauff, who, for the first time, finds herself in a semifinal at the Australian Open after defeating Marta Kostyuk in three sets in the quarterfinals. Sabalenka and Gauff are familiar opponents, and the last time they met, Gauff emerged victorious in the US Open final against Sabalenka.
The great Cinderella story of this year's tournament is Dayana Yastremska. She is currently ranked 93rd in the world, making her the first qualifier to reach an Australian Open semifinal since 1978. She is set to face the world number 12, Qinwen Zheng, who has displayed excellent performances in her recent matches.
Novak Djokovic is the Mr. Australian Open, and with a hard-fought victory over Taylor Fritz, Djokovic has now won 32 consecutive matches in the tournament. Once again, he is ready for the semifinals, giving him the opportunity to defend his title. He is set to face Jannik Sinner, who is reaching his first Australian Open semifinal after an impressive victory over Rublev.
Alexander Zverev is also through to the semifinals after a thrilling match against Carlos Alcaraz, where Zverev ultimately secured victory in four sets. His opponent in the semifinals will be Daniil Medvedev, who earned his spot by defeating Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 7-6, 2-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4.
Exciting matchups to follow, with favorites for the title likely being Sabalenka on the women's side, given her impressive form, while Djokovic's experience and skill could prove decisive on the men's side.
