Coco Gauff vs Marie Bouzkova prediction
Marie Bouzkova clutched up when it mattered most in round three, winning consecutive tie-breakers to secure a straight sets victory over Iva Jovic. Her reward is a showdown with another opponent from the USA, this time a more formidable prospect in Coco Gauff, who got the better of Ann Li, also in two sets. Six double faults will be something that must be improved upon with only 57% accuracy percentage on her first serve, Gauff still has work to do in order to really hit her straps.
Gauff’s ceiling in terms of performance level is higher than that of Bouzkova and the 2023 Cincinnati champion knows what it takes to go all the way in this tournament. You would expect the American to be much better in terms of her serve and if Gauff does clean that side of her game up, then she should wind up too strong for Bouzkova.
