Katerina Siniakova vs Coco Gauff – Match Predictions
Contents
Coco Gauff enters the tournament with high hopes, but she can’t afford a slow start against an opponent that beat her recently. Now a closer look at our tennis predictions for this game:
Coco Gauff To Win Her 1st Service Game, 1st Set and The Match
One of the favourites to challenge for the Australian Open title Gauff started 2023 in the most convincing of styles. She won the WTA 250 hardcourt event in Auckland without dropping a set in 5 consecutive matches. She wasn’t broken in her first service game of any set during this tournament.
Katerina Siniakova to Win a Set: No
Siniakova’s form so far in 2023 hasn’t been very impressive. She failed to even make the main draw of Adelaide International I, losing in the qualifying round. Then she squeezed into the main draw of Adelaide International II via a dramatic comeback in the qualifiers. Went past round 1 after her opponent retired only to lose in round 2 vs Caroline Garcia.
Siniakova also has an awful Australian Open record in the 9 years she has played this tournament. She lost in round 1 in 7 of those 9 appearances and has never been past round 2.
To add to that only 1 of the 4 previous meetings between Gauff and Siniakova had a third set.
Katerina Siniakova vs Coco Gauff Preview
After making our Siniakova vs Gauff predictions it’s time to take a closer look at the two players individually as they enter Australian Open 2023:
Katerina Siniakova
The world number 46 Siniakova had a difficult 2022 in terms of singles matches. She never made it past round 2 in any of the 4 Grand Slams last year. Of her 28 wins in 2022 only 2 were against top 20 opponents. Her singles record in Melbourne is very discouraging too.
Coco Gauff
The world number 7 Gauff had very strong 2022. She reached her first Grand Slam final at the French Open and also made it to the quarterfinals of the US Open. She also started 2023 on fire with 5 convincing wins bringing her the title in Auckland. Hungry for more the 19-year-old eyes a deep run in Melbourne and she will seek quick and easy win in round 1.
Siniakova vs Gauff Head to Head
Gauff won the first 3 matches between the players, in 2 of those wins she didn’t drop a set. However, the most recent meeting back in November at the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup saw Siniakova win in straight sets 7-6(1), 6-1.
