While the likes of Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur and Jessica Pegula have already been sent packing, America's Coco Gauff has looked imperious on her run to the last eight. The fourth seed dropped just three games in her fourth round victory over Magdalena Fręch and has now reached her sixth Grand Slam quarter-final at the age of just 19.
The American had never been beyond the fourth round in Australia but has rarely looked troubled this year, though she has yet to face another seeded player. That will continue in the quarter-finals when she faces Kostyuk, who is the world number 37. The 21-year-old beat 25th seed Elise Mertens in the second round and was hugely impressive last time out as she secured a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Maria Timofeeva.
Much like Gauff, Kostyuk made headlines when she was just 15 as she made the third round of the Australian Open. However, last year she failed to make it beyond the third round at any of the Grand Slams.
Follow our guide as we explain how you can watch a Kostyuk vs Gauff live stream and watch Australian Open 2024 games from wherever you are.
