"We've played so many matches, and it's physical when I play her every time, Gauff said. She's playing great tennis. She's definitely world No 1 for a reason and it's going to be a great challenge."
"I think it's going to be a great battle. I cannot wait to play that. Sabalenka is attempting to win the Sunshine Double the back-to-back March hard-court tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami."
"With Coco, you know that you have to play an extra ball, and the ball always comes back, sometimes not perfect, but it's always back on your side, Sabalenka said."
"She's a fighter. She's a great player. We played a lot of tight matches, a lot of big finals. She is an incredible player. I'm really excited to face her in the final."

Both players acknowledge each other's skills, with Gauff highlighting Sabalenka's physical play and Sabalenka praising Gauff's resilience and fighting spirit.
