Aryna Sabalenka aims for a second consecutive Brisbane International title while Iga Świątek and Coco Gauff clash in a high-profile United Cup encounter.
Aryna Sabalenka hasn't dropped a set this tournament. The two-time defending Australian Open champion is a strong favourite to lift the trophy in Brisbane. This will be the first on-court meeting between Sabalenka and Kudermetova . Sabalenka was runner-up in Brisbane 12 months ago and didn't drop a set on the way to this year's final. The opening singles match of the United Cup has all the makings of a blockbuster, with the women's world number two and three facing off.
Iga Świątek — representing Poland — is taking on US star Coco Gauff in a match-up good enough for a major final. They have played 13 times, with former world number one Świątek holding an 11-2 head-to-head advantage. But Gauff won their most recent encounter at last year's WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia, triumphing in straight sets en route to winning the tournament
