Dayana Yastremska, a +265 moneyline underdog on DraftKings, has a real shot at beating Coco Gauff again in their third-round match at the 2025 Cincinnati Open on Tuesday.
Here’s why.
Ranked No.31 in the WTA world rankings, Yastremska cleared her first assignment in Cincinnati with a three-set win over qualifier Viktoriya Tomova 6-4 2-6 6-2. Sure, it wasn’t the prettiest of wins, but the Ukrainian must have a strong mental game to bounce back from a lethargic second set and dominate Tomova in the decider. Tomova conceded four service breaks but reeled in five breakpoints on 33 return points.
Gauff exacted her revenge on Xinyu Wang, blasting the Chinese 6-3 6-2 in the second round. After failing to Victoria Mboko in the fourth round of the 2025 Canadian Open, the world’s No.2 played like one on Sunday, winning 74 percent of her first serves and converting on all five breakpoint chances. Gauff, who evened things up with Wang after losing to the Chinese at the Berlin Ladies Open in June, is 16-6 in hard-court matches with a 69.9 percent win rate on the surface.

Our Dayana Yastremska vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Bet on Dayana Yastremska to cover -5.5 Games.
You will not get a better deal than a -165 on Yastremska at -5.5 games. Matchstat has already given Gauff a decisive 71 percent win probability for this match since almost everybody is expecting Gauff to come out firing from all cylinders against the player who eliminated her in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon Open.
Beating Gauff two in a row might be a tall order for Yastremska, but I believe the Ukrainian will still present a lot of trouble for her because of her ability to hit winners from the baseline. Yastremska’s aggressive style of play, when it’s clicking, makes her a tricky foe to deal with for any opponent on the tour, including top-level players like Gauff. Although Yastremska’s career has been plagued by inconsistent results, the form she has shown in the past weeks convinces me that she will still be a nightmare of a matchup even for an avenging Gauff.
Our betting prediction for Dayana Yastremska vs. Coco Gauff: Dayana Yastremska +5.5 Games.
