US Open 2023: Coco Gauff vs Mirra Andreeva match preview
Tennis NewsWednesday, 30 August 2023 at 16:08
Coco Gauff is set to lock horns with Mirra Andreeva in a second-round battle of the teens at the US Open.
Home favorite Gauff is still only 19 years old, but is already a well-known name on the WTA Tour.
She entered this year’s Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows as the sixth seed, fresh off a hugely successful North American hard-court swing where she won both the WTA 500 DC Open and the WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Andreeva is a newer name on the Tour but has already got people talking after she reached the fourth round of this year’s Wimbledon. Along the way, the Russian defeated tenth seed Barbora Krejcikova and twenty-second seed Anastasia Potapova before losing to 25th seed Madison Keys. She was the youngest player to reach this milestone since Gauff herself did the same in 2019 at 15 years old.
Gauff leads head-to-head
The two young players have only faced each other on one occasion so far, when they met in the third round of this year's French Open. It was a tight first set that Andreeva took on tiebreak, but ultimately it was Gauff who emerged victorious.
The American fought back hard to take the next two sets, winning 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-1, giving her a 1-0 lead in her head-to-head with the world No. 63.
Gauff comes into this match on the back of a dramatic victory against Laura Siegemund in the first round of the US Open. Despite the German player's efforts to make the match difficult for the world No. 6, Gauff won in three sets, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Meanwhile, Andreeva faced qualifier Olivia Gadecki. Things started out worryingly for her, as she only won one game in the opening set, but the Russian was able to turn it around to achieve a comeback victory 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Odds are in Gauff's favor
The odds are firmly in the home player's favor, but it is expected to be a close match.
Both players have already shown their fighting spirit in their opening rounds, and Andreeva has demonstrated that she is capable of taking a set off the American. However, Gauff's improvements over the summer and the momentum from her subsequent success should help her prevail in this match.
