Coco Gauff has all the momentum in the world to obliterate a -6.5-game handicap against Zeynep Sonmez in the first round of the 2026 US Open.
Current Form:
Coco Gauff has produced two deep runs in her North American hard-court campaign on the WTA Tour. Gauff reached the semifinals of the 2026 Canadian Open and followed it up with a title-clinching run in Cincinnati. Ranked No.4 in the world. Gauff is 25-7 on the hard court in 2026.
Zeynep Sonmez finished her US Open build-up with a 3-3 record. Sonmez picked up wins in Memphis, Toronto and Cincinnati but crashed out in the next round of the tournaments.
The Matchup: Sonmez and Gauff will play against each other for the first time.

Our Zeynep Sonmez vs Coco Gauff Prediction
Key Stats: Coco Gauff won 75 percent of her first serves and converted 50 percent of 54 breakpoints in Cincinnati. In this tournament, Gauff surrendered only one set in six matches.
What to Expect: It’s going to be a brutal task for Sonmez to win more than two games in this match if Gauff sustains the level of dominance she displayed in Cincinnati. Gauff showed that she can deal heavy damage on both sides of the ball, overpowering opponents with her serves and securing breakpoints with her elite return game.
Sonmez is a pretty decent WTA campaigner, but I don’t think she has the tools to hang around for too long with an in-form Gauff.
Fearless Forecast: Coco Gauff wins 6-3, 6-1
Our betting prediction for Zeynep Sonmez vs. Coco Gauff: Coco Gauff -6.5 games
