Belinda Bencic vs Coco Gauff prediction
Belinda Bencic produced a brilliant display as she comfortably beat Amanda Anisimova to reach the quarter-finals in Miami. Bencic conceded just the one break point as she wrapped up a 6-2 6-2 win to make the last eight of a tournament for the first time this season.
She will now face Coco Gauff, who broke new ground in Miami as she reached the quarter-finals of the event for the first time. It was another battle for the world number four, who required three sets to get past Sorana Cirstea. The American looked on course for a straight sets win after winning the first and going 3-1 up in the second, but Cirstea reeled off five games in a row to force a deciding set. Gauff controlled the third from start to finish as she won 6-4 3-6 6-2.
The head-to-head is 4-2 in favour of Gauff, and she leads 3-2 on outdoor hard court. However, their matches are usually hard-fought, with four of their six meetings going to a deciding set. Bencic hasn’t dropped a set so far, while Gauff has looked vulnerable at times, especially on serve. These two usually serve up close matches, and it is likely to be the same here.
