Defending champion Iga Swiatek aims to extend her strong record against Coco Gauff in their upcoming match at the WTA Finals. Both players won their opening matches in this round-robin group. Here’s our match prediction.
This is Swiatek’s first tournament since the US Open, and it showed as she lost the first set against Barbora Krejcikova but rallied to win 6-2 in the third. Swiatek leads their head-to-head 11-1, with Gauff’s only win coming in September 2023. Swiatek has won the last four encounters, including two on hard courts.
While Swiatek has been dominant, Gauff is in excellent form, having won two hard court titles this year, including the China Open last month. She started her WTA Finals campaign with a straight sets victory over Jessica Pegula and has won 10 of her last 11 matches, with only Aryna Sabalenka defeating her.
We predict that Gauff will win at least one set in this match.
