Match Winning Odds*
- Cori Gauff to win: 1/5 (with bet365)
- Petra Martic to win: 7/2 (with bet365)
Gauff Extends Winning Streak to 13 Matches
While it wasn’t the most straightforward of wins for Gauff, she clinched her second round berth here in straight sets. In a match lasting an hour and 22 minutes against the 20th-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova, Gauff progressed to the next stage with a 7-5, 6-3 victory.
Gauff was broken twice in the process, both of which came in the first set after she had taken a 4-0 lead but that didn’t deter her from coming back to break Alexandrova two more times – once more in each of the two sets.
She had come into this match on the back of a title win at the Cincinnati Open and US Open, and with this victory over Alexandrova, the world number three has made it 13 wins in a row already.
The American will start a huge favourite to make it her 14th successive victory.

Martic Edges Out Cirstea
Despite having won just three of her past nine matches before the start of this tournament and starting out a 17/10 underdog as a result, Martic produced one of her grittier shows of recent times to propel herself into the second round.
Martic overcame the 26th-ranked Cirstea 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (3) in a match lasting nearly two and a half hours with both players losing their serve four times in the encounter.
Both the first two sets were one-traffic – the first went in favour of Martic and the second to Cirstea – before the two went hammer and tongs at each other in the decider.
The former world number 14 from Croatia, Martic, was up a break twice including once as she served for the match but dropped her own serve both times. The good news for her was the tie-breaker went her way from the very beginning as she coasted to a 6-1 lead before closing it out 7-3.
Against Gauff things could get a lot tougher though.
Gauff v Martic Prediction and Tip
The first time they had played, Gauff had needed a hard-fought three-setter to get past Martic. There has been a marked change in the manner in which the two have progressed since then and we expect it to be a lot easier for Gauff this time around.
