Gauff Registers Comeback Win against Mertens
For the second time in this tournament, Gauff was forced to come back from a set down to go past her opponent and make it to the next stage.
In a third round encounter that looked to be evenly poised after the second set, Gauff ran through Elise Mertens in the decider to enter round four in two hours and six minutes.
Gauff won 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 in a match of two halves – one in which she struggled with her serves rather badly and the second in which she found her rhythm and had no problems whatsoever. She lost 13 points on serve in the first set and a further 13 in the first half of the second before mounting her comeback.
From 3-3 onward in the second set, she raced to win the next nine games and dropped a mere five points in the final set against Mertens.
Can Gauff now stall the progress of the resurgent Wozniacki as she starts off a 1/5 favourite here with bet365.

Wozniacki Continues to Soar with Brady Win
In a match between two players making their comebacks to competitive tennis in recent times, it was Wozniacki who came back from being a set down to usurp Jennifer Brady.
The former world number one needed nearly two hours to clinch a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 win against Brady and seal a fourth round berth at this tournament for the first time since 2016.
Wozniacki was up a break early in the match but lost her serve on two occasions to drop the first set. And when she fell 0-2 down in the second, the writing looked to be on the wall. That’s where the Dane showed signs of her much improved mental toughness as she broke right back and went on to win 12 of the following 14 games in the encounter.
This follows straight-set wins for Wozniacki over Tatiana Prozorova and Petra Kvitova in the first two rounds. Now, however, will be her biggest challenge as she faces a player who looks like she has turned a corner. No surprises then that Woznkiack is a distant, 7/2 underdog with bet365.
Gauff v Wozniacki Prediction and Tip
Gauff shouldn’t have a lot of problems here we feel and a straight-set win looks like a likely result.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Gauff to win in straight sets: 4/6 (with bet365)
