Coco Gauff vs Caroline Garcia prediction
This promises to be a hugely entertaining contest, with no clear favorite heading into the match.
Garcia is in the midst of a purple patch, having won 17 of her last 18 matches, including titles in Warsaw and Cincinnati. She has looked untroubled at the US Open so far, winning all her matches in straight sets.
Garcia is an attacking player with a powerful forehand. She will look to put Gauff's serve under pressure, often taking up a position well inside the baseline. She is also serving incredibly well at the moment, making her a dangerous opponent.
Gauff is also yet to drop a set in New York. However, she has come close on several occasions. The 18-year-old moves quickly across the court, making it hard to hit past her. She can also attack with ferocity, hitting winners off both wings.
This thrilling encounter will likely be decided by the smallest of margins. Whoever keeps their composure in the clutch moments is sure to come out on top.
Pick: Gauff to win in three sets.
