It’s time for the semi-finale at the Adelaide International 2021 and fans will see an exciting contest there. Former World No.4 Belinda Bencic will be up against the rising star Coco Gauff. It’ll surely be a thrilling encounter as both the players will aim to earn a ticket to the finale.

Coco Gauff v Belinda Bencic: Preview

16-year-old Coco Gauff has played phenomenally in the tournament so far. Starting the event as a qualifier, she has won five straight matches. In her last match, she defeated American player Shelby Rogers despite losing the first set. Gauff made an incredible comeback and completely stunned her counterpart.

On the other hand, Belinda Bencic is in some great form as well. She is yet to lose a set in the tournament and will surely prove to be a big challenge for Gauff. In her last match, she defeated Storm Sanders in straight sets to seal a spot in the semi-finale.

Bencic has served really well in the tournament. She has hit quite a few aces that proved quite nasty for her opponents. Apart from this, she has got an amazing and powerful forehand that often leaves her opponents clueless. Gauff will certainly come prepared for that and will try to engage in long rallies- an area where Bencic hasn’t done that well in the past.

Fans certainly have huge expectations from both the players. Will Bencic advance to yet another finale or will Gauff prove that she has learned to handle the pressure of the big games?
