Is Emma Raducanu vs Coco Gauff on TV? Channel, time and how to watch Australian Open match

Emma Raducanu faces Coco Gauff in the Australian Open second round on Wednesday in a battle of the sport’s biggest teenage stars.

Former US Open champion Raducanu produced a convincing performance to wrap up 6-3 6-2 victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the opening round, setting up a first meeting with the 18-year-old Gauff, who reached the French Open final last season.

“I’m really looking forward to this match. I’m very up for it,” Raducanu said. “Coco has obviously done a lot of great things and she’s playing well. I’m just looking forward to the matchup. I think we’re both good, young players, we’re both coming through. Yeah, part of the next generation of tennis really. It’s going to be a great match.”

“I mean, obviously she’s gone through a lot of pressure, bursting onto the scene,” Gauff said. “I feel like probably more than I have experienced coming to win a slam. And especially I feel like being from the UK, being like the first British person to do something in a long time, probably is a lot more pressure than what I’m used to being an American.”
