Paula Badosa vs Coco Gauff prediction
Paula Badosa eased past Suzan Lamens to tee up an eighth career showdown with Coco Gauff.
The Spaniard claimed a 6-3 6-2 victory over the out-of-form Dutch hopeful and will now aim to rise to the challenge against the fifth seed.
This was once a heavyweight battle, but Badosa’s issues with injury mean she is way down the rankings nowadays and struggling for consistency.
Badosa actually leads the head-to-head 4-3 and triumphed in their most recent clash at the 2025 Australian Open, but this will be a maiden tussle on grass.
If the world number 142 can land her serve consistently she may enjoy some success here, but we expect Coco to find her feet and secure the win in the end.
Paula Badosa vs Coco Gauff tip: Over 20.5 games
