Giant killer Sara Bejlek is on to another big match at the WTA Cincinnati semis, where she will be facing fourth seed Cori Gauff. The two are meeting for the first time in their careers, and this will be an interesting duel. In 34 matches against players outside the top 20 this season, Gauff won 29, and our prediction picks her here.
Bejlek has this week seen off a number of seeded players, the biggest of them being world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. She repeated the feat in the quarters, eliminating the 2019 champion Madison Keys.
That wasn’t as straightforward as her win over Sabalenka; the Czech had to come from a set down.
Gauff will be scratching her head over just how to deal with a youngster in fine form and with such momentum. Her experience should place her far ahead, though.
The advantage in meeting Bejlek so deep in the tournament is that Gauff can use her longevity in the game to finally end the youngster’s run. The American is coming off another professional output in beating Marta Kostyuk 2-0, the third straight outing without dropping a set.
Gauff really has to be feeling this is the chance to claim her first title this year. Twice this season, Gauff has been a losing finalist, and she’s fallen three times at the semis.

Our Sara Bejlek vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Gauff is going for a second Cincinnati title, but she will know the challenge ahead isn’t easy. Facing a player with that confidence and picking up momentum can be tough even for the best in the business. It explains why Aryna Sabalenka and Madison Keys have fallen under the youngster’s might.
Bejlek will want to spread the same against Gauff, but she has played three hours more than a much superior player, which works against her. Despite all she has achieved in the week, we feel this is where it ends. Our prediction for Sara Bejlek v Cori Gauff is for the exact score: 1-2.
