Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Coco Gauff prediction
Coco Gauff returns to court with a determination to put her Australian Open frustrations firmly behind her.
The world number five was caught on camera smashing her racquet in anger by behind the scenes after a woeful display in a quarter-final loss to Elina Svitolina.
The American’s service travails when under pressure are well documented and Elisabetta Cocciaretto will have to turn the screw and deliver on the return to reap any benefit here.
The Italian will have nothing to lose as a lucky loser having cruised to a 7-6 6-2 win over Elsa Jacquemot in the first round.
The Hobart champion can be a dangerous opponent on her day and did beat Gauff in their maiden meeting at the Australian Open in 2018.
Coco has won the next three encounters in straight sets and her sublime backhand is likely to be key again in what is likely to be a morale-boosting start for the two-time Grand Slam champion.
Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Coco Gauff tip: Coco Gauff to win 2-0
