Coco Gauff of the United States takes on familiar face in Belinda Bencic of Switzerland in the fourth round of the 2025 China Open on Tuesday.
Gauff, 3-2 in her head-to-head series with Bencic, are listed at -215 moneyline favorites.
Current Form:
Coco Gauff gutted out a 6-4 4-6 7-5 win over Leylah Annie Fernandez of Canada in the third round to keep her title hope alive at the 2025 China Open, a WTA 1000 event. Gauff, who blasted Kamila Rakhimova 6-4. 6-0 in the second round, overcame 9 double faults by finding more success as a returner. She converted 8 of 17 breakpoint chances to outlast Fernandez, who also earned 7 breakpoint conversions in the match. Gauff improved her 2025 hard-court record to 22-8 and WTA season record to 40-13.
Bencic also survived a three-set tussle with Priscilla Hon of Australia 4-6 6-4 6-3 to set up a sixth head-to-head clash with Gauff. Bencic has won 79 percent of her first serves in this tournament and held 74 percent of her serves. It would be interesting to see how Bencic would counter Gauff, who is an excellent returner.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Belinda Bencic vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Belinda Bencic looks like an intriguing pick at +2.5 games because she always brings her A-game whenever she gets a chance to play Coco Gauff. Bencic’s two career wins over Gauff happened on the hard court with her latest win over the top American taking place in the fourth round of the 2025 Indian Wells Open, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Gauff continues to struggle with her serves. In her previous match against Fernandez, Gauff committed 9 double faults, raising her total in the tournament to 14 double faults. She cannot afford to commit that many errors against Bencic, who has converted 10 of 24 breakpoint chances at the China Open.
Gauff might still grind out a win on Tuesday, but expect Bencic to push her to the limit. Out of their four hard-court matches, three went to the limit. That’s how competitive this head-to-head series has been.
