Entering the match with a 9-0 record this season and a Grand Slam title to her name, Gauff arrived at Rod Laver Arena riding a 13-match win streak before the upset.

Despite Gauff's accolades, Badosa remained composed and prepared to face the 20-year-old phenomenon.

With the victory, Badosa advances to her first Grand Slam semifinal at 27 years old, showcasing the best tennis of her career.

Gauff, finishing with a staggering 41 unforced errors, including six double faults and 28 missed forehands, failed to earn a single break point until she was already trailing by a set and a break in the second.

With the victory, Badosa will face No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka or No. 27 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the semifinals on Tuesday night.
