Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Under 22 – 1.73.
Gauff proved herself well in San Diego, but today she will have to play against an uncomfortable opponent. Swiatek has beaten Coco twice this year, with wins by exact 2-0 in sets, both on a hard court in Miami and on clay in the Roland Garros’ final. We don’t think the tradition will be broken.
In the two matches this year, the tennis players have not played more than 16 games. We expect another confident win for the Polish tennis player.
Swiatek started the tournament with a victory over Zheng Qinwen. As expected, Zheng could put up a good fight against world #1.
The first two sets were really hard, but in the decisive set, Iga simply dominated, giving her opponent only one game.
It was almost a similar scenario for Swiatek and Zheng at Roland Garros in late May. There is a suspicion that in the near future, Zheng can become one of the main rivals of the Polish tennis player.
Last week, Swiatek failed to win the final for the first time in her career. Iga lost to Barbora Krejcikova in the deciding match at the tournament in Ostrava.
Swiatek won her last ten matches in a row when her opponent was a top-10 tennis player.
Gauff defeated Robin Montgomery in the first round. Coco faced a younger opponent for the first time. Coco was six months older than the US Open 2021 junior champion.
In the end, Gauff soundly defeated her compatriot with a score of 6-3, 6-3. Montgomery at 18 is not quite ready to play at this level yet.
In the second round, Coco had a tough match against Bianca Andreescu (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), who stopped Ludmilla Samsonova at the start of the tournament.
Gauff is playing her first tournament since the US Open where she reached the quarterfinals.
Gauff has won six of her last seven matches on a hard court.
In each of the three face-to-face meetings, less than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.68.
