Cori Gauff v Mirra Andreeva Head to Head
Their only previous meeting came at the 2023 French Open where Gauff won from being a set down.

Gauff Stretched by Siegemund
Having entered the tournament on the back of two superlative performances in Washington and Cincinnati, Gauff wasn’t expecting any kind of a fight from a player ranked 121st in the world.
Especially given how beautifully Gauff’s tennis has been shaping up since the introduction of Brad Gilbert as her coach.
However, Gauff was forced to buckle down and use up nearly three hours to make it through to the second round with a hard-fought three-set win over Siegemund.
In fact, Gauff was broken four times in the encounter and was forced to come back from a set down to thwart Siegemund in a scrappy third set. There were a total of five breaks of serves in that decider before Siegemund’s effort came a cropper as Gauff converted her first match-point at 5-4.
Can Gauff now ease into the third round as she starts out a heavy favourite yet again, starting out 1/5 favourite here (with bet365) against her teenaged opponent?

Andreeva Also Made to Fight
Unlike Gauff, Andreeva hadn’t won a lot in hardcourt competitions before the start of this tournament and while she was a favourite against Olivia Gadecki, there was that expectation of a fight.
After all, Andreeva had played a mere two hardc0urt matches all season in the lead-up to the US Open and won and lost one apiece there.
And fight is what Gadecki delivered as she broke Andreeva twice in the first set to race away to a solid lead. And when Gadecki went 2-0 up in the second set, it looked like Andreeva’s lack of hardcourt action was coming back to bite her.
Instead she fought back to break Gadecki twice in the second set and then took an early 3-1 lead in the decider. There was no looking back from that point onward as Andreeva clinched the win 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the second round on her US Open debut.
She now has a battle on her hands as she starts off a 7/2 (with bet365) underdog in this one.
Gauff v Andreeva Prediction and Tip
This could be a bit of a fight but we are backing Gauff to win and to do that in straight sets. In far too good a form to drop a set twice in a row.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Gauff to win in straight sets: 4/5 (with bet365)
