Dominant defending champion Aryna Sabalenka admitted Tuesday she was plotting “revenge” against Coco Gauff after setting up an Australian Open semifinal showdown with the American.
The world No 2 was untouchable in a commanding 6-2, 6-3 victory over ninth seed Barbora Krejcikova on Rod Laver Arena, reaching the last four at a Grand Slam for the sixth consecutive time.

She will meet Gauff next in a replay of last year’s US Open final, which the teenager won in three sets.
“I love it, I love it. After the US Open, I really wanted that revenge, and, I mean, that’s a great match,” Sabalenka said.
