Coco Gauff begins her 2025 Cincinnati Open campaign against Wang Xinyu in a center court match this afternoon.
Coco Gauff, ranked world No. 2, looks to regain her form after setbacks following her Roland Garros triumph, including a loss to her opponent today in Berlin in June. Gauff then was hit with a Round of 128 exit at Wimbledon, and a fourth-round loss at the Canadian Open to tennis’s new star, Victoria Mboko.
Gauff enters this tournament, like any player of her elite caliber and ranking, with the weight of expectations. And she faces an opponent ranked 37, but riding her best form of the year and momentum from a deep run in Berlin, where she knocked out Gauff in the Round of 16.
Gauff–Wang Head-to-Head
Their head-to-head is even at 1–1. After Gauff’s initial win in 2022, Wang leveled the score with a Berlin Open upset this summer. This is their first meeting on hard court.
Prediction
Gauff in 2 straight sets. This match will be competitive, but Coco Gauff’s superior movement, rally tolerance, and hard-court prowess should carry her past Wang Xinyu in two straight sets.
