The American and top 5 member Cori (Coco) Gauff faces the 33-year-old Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus in this 32nd final of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid. Coco Gauff, the 3rd seed of this tournament, makes her entry into this second round. She has just participated in the first clay court tournament of her season, that of Stuttgart, and won her round of 16 against her compatriot Sachia Vickery before losing in the quarterfinals against Marta Kostyuk in a match where victory was decided in the tie-break of the last set. Semi-finalist at the WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells against Maria Sakkari, the American also won 2 consecutive victories at the Miami tournament last month. On the other hand, Arantxa Rus suffered a bad series of 5 consecutive defeats between February and March. Eliminated in the first round at Indian Wells by Tatjana Maria and in the second round of Miami by Océane Dodin, 74th in the world, the Dutchwoman also lost her first two matches on clay courts in Charleston and at the ITF Zaragoza against the 130th in the world Moyuka Uchijima. Nevertheless, victorious in her first 2 rounds in Rouen last week, she was stopped by Magda Linette in the quarterfinals and won her first round in this Madrid tournament against the wild card Brenda Fruhvirtova, 106th in the world.Limited Offer.
