Paula Badosa marches into her 2026 US Open second-round match against Coco Gauff as a lucrative option at +135 to cover +4.5 games in the spread market.
Badosa defeated Gauff in their most recent meeting in Berlin while boasting a 5-3 record against the American.
Current Form:
Coco Gauff notched her 7th consecutive win after fending off Zeynep Sonmez, 6-3, 6-4. Gauff, who ruled the 2026 Cincinnati Open and reached the semifinals in Toronto, continued to deal heavy damage with her return game, breaking Sonmez three times behind 24 return points.
Badosa is off to a promising start at the US Open, scoring a confidence-boosting win over former top-10 player Daria Kasatkina, 6-1, 6-4. Badosa, who last played two months ago in Hamburg, outplayed Kasatkina from start to finish, as the Spaniard won 63 percent of her first serves and broke the Australian three times.
The Matchup: Gauff is the heavy favorite at -770, but don’t dare to sleep on Badosa, who boasts a 5-3 head-to-head record against the American.
