Gauff - Bencic. Prediction for the Australian Open match
Gauff and Bencic will meet in the fourth round of the Australian Open on January 19. The third round match between Bencic and Osaka ended unexpectedly early due to an injury to the Japanese tennis player. Belinda, losing 2-5 in the first set, managed not only to win back, but also to win the game in the tie-break. This comeback demonstrates the incredible character of the Swiss. Will she be able to cause problems for Gauff in the upcoming match? - bets on this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Cori Gauff
USACurrent form
Gauff beat Leylah Fernandez (6-4, 6-2) in the third round of the Australian Open. During the match against the Canadian, Coco hit five aces, converted four break points and lost one game on her serve. In two sets earlier in the tournament, the American had beaten both Jody Burrage and Sofia Kenin.
Professional qualities
Gauff is always looking to attack, but she also has a great defense. Her quick feet and stamina allow her to handle long rallies, and her backhand and powerful serve are important elements of her game. However, despite this, she does have a weakness in her forehand, which is not always spinny and not as consistent as she would like.
Current indicators in the tour
Gauff is the world third-ranked tennis player. Last season, the American added to her trophy collection by winning tournaments in Auckland, Beijing and the Final Tournament. In total, Coco has won nine trophies in her career, eight of which are WTA categories.
Interesting facts for betting
Gauff has won her last nine matches against opponents ranked outside the top 100.
Belinda Bencic
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Bencic advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open on the refusal of Naomi Osaka, who withdrew from the match after the first set, which she lost with a score of 6-7. Belinda converted two break points in 58 minutes of playing time and lost two games on her serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Swiss won against Susan Lamens and Jelena Ostapenko.
Professional qualities
Bencic has a good serve, which gives her the ability to attack right after the first hit. However, when her serve is not working, Belinda becomes nervous, which leads to a lot of double faults. This becomes her weakness, especially when these errors increase at critical moments of matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Bencic was once the world fourth-ranked tennis player. Now the Swiss is ranked 294th in the world. During her career, Belinda has won 16 trophies, nine of which are WTA categories. She won her last title in Abu Dhabi on open hard court in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting
Bencic has never played in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
