Coco Gauff will attempt to produce another convincing win over Claire Liu in the third round of the 2026 Wimbledon Open.
Gauff has swept Liu in their first two encounters.
Current Form:
Fresh off a thrilling win over Solana Sierra, Coco Gauff returns to action on Friday, gunning for a fourth-round spot at Wimbledon against an upset-minded compatriot. Gauff saved two match points and won four consecutive points in a nerve-wracking third-set tiebreak to beat Solana Sierra 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7) in the second round. With the win, Gauff averted another early exit at Wimbledon after crashing out in the first round last year.
Gauff can secure her spot in the round of 16 of this grass-court Grand Slam for the fourth time if she takes down Claire Liu, who racks up five consecutive wins in this tournament.
After coming through the qualifying round, Liu would go on to beat Hannah Vandewinkel 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and Zeynep Sonmez 7-5, 6-3. After five matches at SW19, Liu won 65 percent of her first serves and converted 59.5 percent of break chances.
The Matchup: Gauff is 2-0 vs. Liu, demolishing her in their first meeting at the 2022 Indian Wells 6-1, 7-6 and at the 2024 Auckland Open 6-4, 6-2.

Our Claire Liu vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Coco Gauff pulls off a sweeper on Claire Liu 6-3, 6-3
The Difference Maker: Gauff will absolutely love her matchup against Liu, who doesn’t possess an overpowering serve and put-away shots that have troubled Coco throughout her career.
Gauff is also winning 81 percent of her first serves and averaging 6.5 aces per match at Wimbledon. Gauff can definitely sustain this level of serving in her match against Liu, who has converted only four breakpoints in two head-to-head meetings.
Moreover, Liu has only one win in nine matches against a top-10 player. To pull off a surprise, Liu will need to deliver probably the best match of her career, plus a little bit of luck, to take down the world’s No.2
What to Expect: Coco Gauff will connect and win a high percent of her first serves to dominate Claire Liu. As happened in their first two meetings, Gauff will also break Li multiple times behind her lethal counterattacks.
