THE PREDICTION
World number six Coco Gauff made it seven wins on the spin with a composed straight-sets victory over Mirra Andreeva, avoiding a real potential early scare with impressive ease. The 19-year-old won the most prestigious WTA title of her career in Washington this time last month and then almost immediately bettered it with an incredible run to the Cincinnati Masters title, where she beat world number one Iga Swiatek for the first time to make a huge statement. World number 32 Elise Mertens blew off some cobwebs on Wednesday with a remarkable comeback over Danielle Collins from a set down. The 27-year-old was probably the most consistent high performer at this level in the years leading up to the pandemic and after an early exit here last season snapped an incredible streak of 19 third rounds or higher reached at majors she has returned to her benchmark to look a threat. Gauff leads the Belgian 2-0 in their head-to-head record after beating her most recently in the round of 16 at Roland-Garros last summer but Mertens’ intensity against Collins makes straight sets a significant risk. Back Gauff to win outright.
