Coco Gauff vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
Matches between these two USA stars have gone either way down the years, with both having beaten the other twice. Three of those four fixtures took place at a Grand Slam tournament, in which two were won by Coco Gauff including earlier this year at the Australian Open. That particular encounter was a straight sets victory for Gauff, who proved too strong for Sofia Kenin, serving a whopping 12 aces and winning over three quarters of points on her first serve.
Kenin, a former Australian Open champion will likely struggle again with the sheer power that Gauff possesses on the hard court, unless she improves when inevitably put under pressure, especially when it comes to defending break points. But Gauff’s hard-hitting backhand can always give her the upper hand when it comes to ground rallies and Kenin may find it hard to defend.
Whilst this could wind up being closer than when the pair met in Melbourne, the outcome is still expected to be the same and should be backed appropriately, that being victory for the 21-year-old Gauff.
