Aryna Sabalenka vs Coco Gauff prediction
Aryna Sabalenka notched up her second successive win over Elena Rybakina in less than a fortnight as she came through in straight sets. The top two players in the world rankings had already faced off in epic three set battles at the Australian Open and Indian Wells, but this was a far more straight-forward encounter for Sabalenka, who broke on four occasions to win 6-4 6-3 after one hour and 19 minutes. She has not dropped a set so far and now has 22 wins from 23 matches this season.
She faces Coco Gauff in the final. The American reached her first final of the season as she continued her dominant record against Karolina Muchova. Gauff had won the five previous meetings, and despite being broken in her first service game, she strolled to a 6-1 6-1 win.
The head-to-head is locked at 6-6 between the pair, and 3-3 on outdoor hard court. They have met in two Grand Slam finals, with Gauff winning on both occasions. Sabalenka has been faultless at this event so far, and while Gauff showed her class in the semi-finals, her inconsistent serve could provide the world number one with opportunities as she seeks a second successive Miami Open title.
