Tip and bets
Despite her young age, Gauff is showing an excellent performance. Looks like she doesn't want to stop, so she deserved a status of a favourite in this match.
We think that Cori Gauff will record a victory here. In the previous year she secured a victory over Konta in straight sets. American player should be able to win once again, this time on her favourite surface.

Konta wasted too much energy in the previous match. In the first match of that tournament she also was not looking great. We are expecting a long match.
