Vying for his first semifinal appearance since the French Open, Coco Gauff of the United States should brace for a tough match against the upset-minded Yuliia Starodubtseva of Ukraine in the women’s singles quarterfinals at the 2024 China Open. Gauff made it her way to the quarterfinal round after Naomi Osaka retired due to an apparent back injury. After dropping the first set 3-6, Gauff responded by taking the next set 6-4 to force a deciding set. Before they could even start the third set, Osaka informed the umpire that she had decided to retire from the match, giving Gauff the win and a ticket to the final eight. Meanwhile, Yuliia Starodubtseva had to go through a battery of matches to this juncture of the tourney. Ranked No. 115 in the world, the Ukrainian qualifier has now won her last six matches, including an exquisite straight-set victory over Anna Kalinskaya 7-5 6-0 in round 4.

Our Yuliia Starodubtseva vs Coco Gauff Prediction

This is the first time Gauff will be facing Starodubtseva in a WTA match, making it still a dangerous match for the American because of the unfamiliarity factor that goes into play. Holding a 25-8 record in hard-court matches this 2024, Gauff is still my pick to win and advance to the next round. Starodubtseva may have made some noise after taking down top-20 WTA players but she has never beaten a legit top-5 player in her career. I expect Gauff to cruise to an easy straight-set win. Our betting prediction for Coco Gauff vs. Yuliia Starodubtseva: Back Coco Gauff to win 2-0, -185, at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Coco Gauff will win 2-0
