Gauff vs Raducanu live stream: how to watch Australian Open tennis online from anywhere

Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu know more than most about preposterous expectations, and their eye-catching second round meeting at the Australian Open 2023 will be the first time they go head to head on court. Read on to find out how to watch a Gauff vs Raducanu live stream from anywhere – and ways to watch Australian Open tennis (opens in new tab) absolutely FREE.

Raducanu's first full year on tour was a chastening experience, and as such she's unseeded in Melbourne. Now 20 and ranked at No.77, she's in the unusual position of being the underdog against Gauff, and a comfortable 6-3 6-2 victory over Tamara Korpatsch, in which she struck 27 winners, was the perfect way to kick-off the tournament.

Gauff reached her first Grand Slam final last year but was unable to make it hers. However, her impressive consistency on tour has won her plenty of plaudits. Aged 18 and ranked No.7 in the world, the American is on a six-match winning streak that includes a triumphant run at the Auckland Open, and a 6-1 6-4 victory over Katerina Siniakova in the curtain-raiser on Monday.

Raducanu has never made it past the second round of a major since going all the way in New York in 2021, but Gauff knows that on her day, she's capable of trading blows with anyone.
