Listed at +177 moneyline, Sorana Cirstea will try to produce another big upset in Miami against the former world No.2 Coco Gauff in the fourth round on Monday.
Current Form:
Coco Gauff barged into the fourth round of the 2026 Miami Open by gutting out tough wins in the first two rounds. After an injury scare in her dominant arm that forced her to withdraw from her third-round match against Alexandra Eala at Indian Wells, Gauff grinded back-to-back three-set wins over Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Alycia Parks to secure a round-of-16 ticket. Gauff opened as a -218 favorite against Sorana Cirstea, who is enjoying a terrific run in her farewell season.
Cirstea reached the fourth round of the 2026 Miami Open after stunning top-20 Elise Mertens 6-3, 6-2. The win served as a fitting follow-up to Romania’s three-set victory over Linda Noskova 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 in the second round. Cirstea, who announced her plans to retire at the end of the season, has compiled a 17-4 record and captured a title at Cluj-Napoca in 2026.

Our Sorana Cirstea vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Back Sorana Cirstea to win at +177. This is a gamble, but I like her chances against Gauff, who was pushed to the limit in her first two assignments in Miami.
Cirstea is playing high-quality tennis right now, winning 67 percent of her first serves and saving almost 70 percent of breakpoints. She has also converted 36.1 percent of the 36 breakpoint chances she created in this tournament.
Meanwhile, Gauff is winning 77 percent of her first balls but averaging 9.5 double faults in Miami. Cirstea is a type of player who can capitalize on her opponents’ miscues, so Gauff could find herself in deep trouble if she continues to incur double faults in regularity in this match.
Our betting prediction for Coco Gauff vs. Sorana Cirstea: Sorana Cirstea will win.
