In the early rounds of the 2024 Australian Open, we are able to look at all kinds of matches to create some exciting tennis predictions today. On that note, the upcoming battle between Caroline Dolehide and Coco Gauff should be a fun watch. But what are the best markets to cover? Let me show you.
Our favourite Caroline Dolehide vs Coco Gauff predictions
Contents
Tennis is always a little juicier when you have two players from the same country facing each other. That’s precisely what’s about to unfold in the case of Gauff vs Dolehide, as per the 2024 Australian Open schedule, and Coco Gauff is the clear favourite to win. However, there are other markets we can explore to find some value ahead of this game, as revealed here:
Under 17.5 games @ 8/11 (1.72)
Coco Gauff was pretty clinical in her first-round match, taking out her opponent 6-3 6-0. Additionally, she was in fine form a couple of weeks back to clinch the title in Auckland. Therefore, based on the standard of her opponent in this match, I feel she can win the match with fewer than 17.5 games played.
Gauff -6.5 games handicap @ 4/7 (1.57)
Now that any first-round nerves should have been eliminated, not that there appeared to be any, Gauff should now settle in and produce her best tennis to get the job done efficiently. Of course, the second of my Dolehide vs Gauff predictions complements the first one too. And I do believe that Gauff can take out Dolehide while putting at least 7 games between them.
Caroline Dolehide vs Coco Gauff odds
Gauff has a huge probability of winning this match at 97.10%. As for Dolehide, her chance is pretty bleak at just 6.70%.
Gauff eager to establish dominance as America’s number one
Before this match begins, let me point you in the direction of the two previews for these players below.
Caroline Dolehide preview
Caroline Dolehide is the older of these two at 25, and she is currently sitting at a ranking of 43. This is a whole 39 spots lower than Coco Gauff, which is quite a difference. Adding to that, she hasn’t started the 2024 season too well with just one win and two losses.
Coco Gauff preview
As many of you will know, Gauff’s end to the 2023 season was rather awesome, and she’s kept that form going in 2024. Not only that, but as the world number 4 and US Open champion, she should now have huge belief in these kinds of tournaments. So for me, her level of tennis and confidence should prove to be too much for Caroline Dolehide.
Dolehide vs Gauff head to head
Coco Gauff and Caroline Dolehide have met on just one occasion prior to this second-round Australian Open 2024 clash. This was back in 2020, however, while Coco Gauff was still rising through the rankings. As for the result – Coco Gauff won that match by a score of 7-5 7-5.
