Osaka vs Gauff is being billed as the match of the tournament so far as the two young stars compete for a place in the fourth round.
Gauff will start the match as the underdog but after two battling wins in the tournament so far, the teenager is full of confidence.
“Obviously she’s an amazing player. She’s defending champion,” she said.
“She’s won two slams. She’s No. 1. She’s only 21. We’re both pretty young. But I’m a little bit newer to the game. So I’m just curious to see how my game matches up against her.
“Obviously I want to win. I just want to enjoy it, have fun, enjoy the battle. We’ll see how it goes.”
