Sofia Kenin vs. Coco Gauff Analysis
We should be in for one of the better games on the tennis schedule today. Read on to find out all you need to know about the players.
Sofia Kenin
There has been enough evidence over the last six months to suggest that Sofia Kenin is back on track. The Russian-born star was ranked as high as fourth in the world back in 2020 after winning the Australian Open, but injury and form issues saw her drop outside of the top 100 in the rankings.
However, she has been back to somewhere near her best, as the 24-year-old has climbed back inside the top 125. Kenin landed the biggest win of her career at the Italian Open, scoring a straight-sets win over Aryna Sabalenka.
She has also been in great form throughout qualifying, as she secured her spot in the main draw of one of the tennis main events without dropping a set. Her standout win came in the form of a straight-sets success over compatriot Taylor Townsend last Thursday.
Coco Gauff
The tennis standings will highlight that Coco Gauff will be one of the standout players in the tournament this year, as she is currently ranked sixth in the world. However, the pressure will be rising on the 19-year-old to deliver a first Grand Slam title finally. Her best performance in that regard came at the French Open, where she was beaten by Iga Swiatek in the 2022 final.
Gauff’s game certainly looks tailored to the grass court, but she is yet to make it further than the fourth round at SW19. Last year, she crashed out in the third round in disappointing fashion at the hands of Amanda Ansimova. But, there will be confidence among those that have made Wimbledon Womens picks this year; she warmed up for Wimbledon by reaching the last four in the Eastbourne International.
Her win over Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinal stage highlighted how dominant she can be. She will take confidence from the fact that she beat Kenin in straight sets earlier this year.
Sofia Kenin vs. Coco Gauff Betting Picks
Coco Gauff is yet to truly show that she has what it takes to reach the final stages at Wimbledon, as opposing players have been able to find weaknesses on the grass. Kenin is capable of a big performance when she brings her A-game, and she has previous big wins to her name at SW19.
The fact that she qualified with ease only furthers her claims, and we could see her scoring a shock victory in the opening round at Wimbledon. Furthermore, we also like the chances of over 2.5 sets in the Sofia Kenin vs Coco Gauff betting on Monday.
