Hoping to equal her best effort on Canadian soil, Coco Gauff is one win away from the quarter finals of the WTA event in Toronto, and right now, the world number four is not a player to go against. The two-time Grand Slam winner is enjoying herself on North American hard-court swing, that's for sure. Alina Korneeva is also playing well at present, but let's be real, she remains some way below Gauff's level, so much so that the road is likely to end here for the Russian.
At the time of writing, Coco Gauff is priced at -118 with a few sportsbooks to win this match in straight sets, and that looks generous. The world number four has looked in hot form over the last week, delivering some strong performances, and the way in which she brushed aside a very, very strong hard-court player in Maria Sakkari suggests that she means business. Off the back of that commanding effort, she ought to be priced a good bit shorter to defeat a player of Alina Korneeva's level.

Our Alina Korneeva vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Everything about the way in which Coco Gauff went about her business against Maria Sakkari, who even the best players can struggle against on this surface, tells us that she is ready to go deep into this tournament. Winning 6-1, 6-4, the US player was able to dominate and step on the gas in a way that is going to be very difficult for Alina Korneeva to match. Sure, the Russian has picked up some decent wins in Toronto, but the fact that she recently struggled against Sakkari on a hard court does not suggest that she can get seriously competitive here. Her first ever match against the current world number four is likely to be troublesome one.
