A tempting +420 underdog, Elisabetta Cocciaretto looks to take advantage of a recovering Coco Gauff in this intriguing second-round showdown at the 2026 Miami Open.
Current Form:
Coco Gauff begins a fresh campaign in Miami, two weeks after overcoming an injury scare at Indian Wells. Gauff crashed in the third round of the 2026 Miami Open after she retired while trailing Alexandra Eala 2-6, 0-2 in the second set. Gauff, who has had a few cases of retiring from a match throughout her career, complained about a weird sensation inside her right arm.
Several tennis analysts have raised concerns about Gauff’s injury, with some questioning her entry at the Miami Open. Gauff, a Florida native, said she even had thought of skipping the tournament, but the itch to compete at home prevailed.
Against Cocciaretto, Gauff is facing a player who can beat her even if she’s fully healthy. Cocciaretto scored a massive win over Gauff 6-4, 6-2 in the second round of the 2026 Qatar Open. This is indeed a difficult opening match for Gauff, whose fitness status remains up in the air.

Our Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Elisabetta Cocciaretto is an intriguing underdog pick at +420 moneyline just because no one knows how good Gauff will be after that injury scare at Indian Wells. Cocciaretto already has the blueprint to beat healthy Gauff, and she will employ the same tactics in their second meeting on the tour in 2026. The question now is, can Gauff endure the barrage the Italian is about to unleash on game day?
If you feel Cocciaretto can pull off another stunner here, go ahead and pick her at +420 moneyline. I wouldn’t blame you for giving in to that opportunity. However, I still believe Gauff can win this match, even though she’s not at 100 percent. She’s not going to blow by Cocciaretto, that’s for sure, but she will do just enough to win this match.
With that said, the most logical pick here is to go with Cocciaretto at +4.5 games (+130). Cocciaretto’s suffocating offense will create a ton of problems for Gauff, forcing her to create errors and giving up service games. Again, I would not be shocked if Cocciaretto beats Gauff again, but I am playing it safe for this match.
Our betting prediction for Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs. Coco Gauff: Elisabetta Cocciaretto +4.5 Games
