WTA - WTA Berlin Open
Prediction :
Coco Gauff to win in straight sets
Second seed Coco Gauff gets her Berlin Open campaign underway. The American faces the qualifier Xinyu Wang in round two of this WTA 500 grass court tournament. Here's our match prediction.
The Chinese player is a familiar opponent for Gauff in this tournament. The two players met in Berlin three years ago with Gauff winning for the loss of four games, all in the second set. Next up for the winner of this match is a quarter-final against either eighth seed Paula Badosa or unseeded Emma Navarro.
World number two Coco Gauff is playing her first tournament since winning the French Open. Last year saw the American get to the last four of this tournament and round four at Wimbledon.
Xinyu Wang is up to 44th in the live rankings after winning three matches this week. Both of her qualifying matches went to a final set with the second seeing her beat former WImbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur. Round one saw the 23-year-old defeat Daria Kasatkina with only five games being dropped.
This year has seen her win 13 of her 27 matches. Her run this week is a welcome one as her previous three matches had all been lost.
We tip Gauff to win in straight sets.
