LEXINGTON DRAW. Coco Gauff on a collision course with Sabalenka

16-year-old Cori Gauff is about to resume her season in Lexington after a long hiatus. This WTA international event has managed to set up a rather amazing line-up for its category.

Many top players such as Serena and Venus Williams accepted to compete in Kentucky as they were eager to finally get back to play some competitions. Therefore, with such a packed line-up it was expected to have some interesting early clashes. On the top part of the screen, Venus Williams will take on Vika Azarenka in the 1st round to then possibly face Serena in the second.

Coco fell in the lower part of the draw where after facing a qualifier she might clash with the seed no.2 Aryna Sabalenka in the end round.
