COCO GAUFF VS DAYANA YASTREMSKA PREDICTION

World number three Coco Gauff survived an early onslaught by Tamara Zidansek on Wednesday but she has looked in decent shape so far at Roland-Garros, where she finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek in 2022.

The American enjoyed an incredible purple patch of form on the late hardcourt swing last year to win a first WTA 500 in Washington, a first Masters in Cincinnati and then to fulfil her destiny as a teenage US Open champion to match idol Serena Williams’ major achievements before her 20th birthday.

This could be another tricky test against the enigmatic Dayana Yastremska, who had not won a match at Roland-Garros until this week, but the pair only recently met on clay in Madrid, where Gauff beat the Ukrainian handily. 24-year-old Yastremska reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January but she had failed to win back-to-back matches since and snapping that run here should boost her confidence.

Gauff should ultimately come through in straight sets but there is enough trepidation about this match to make backing the third seed to win outright a wise concession.
