Coco Gauff vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Defending champion Coco Gauff got off to a losing start at the WTA Finals as she was defeated by Jessica Pegula in three sets. A topsy-turvy match saw 14 breaks of serve overall, but Gauff struggled significantly in her service games as she committed 17 double faults and made under 55% of her first serves. She fought back in the second set but still lost 6-3 6-7 (4) 6-2.
Gauff now goes up against Jasmine Paolini. The Italian will also be searching for her first win after losing her first group stage match to Aryna Sabalenka. Paolini just could not find a way to stop a rampant Sabalenka as she lost 6-3 6-1 after only an hour and 10 minutes.
The head-to-head is locked at 3-3. They have played each other four times this season, with Paolini winning the first three matches in Stuttgart, Rome and Cincinnati, while Gauff ended that run with a win in the semi-finals of the Wuhan Open on her way to winning the event. Their last match saw breaks being traded at will, and there’s a strong chance of a repeat here, as both players return well and are consistent from the baseline. If Gauff manages to produce an improved serving performance, she should have enough to win.
