Match Preview

A detailed analytical breakdown of the quarterfinal match of the Rome Masters between Cori Gauff and Xinyu Wang is included in our prediction. Battles between girls from the top ten of the world ranking almost always delight with a multitude of interesting events. In this case, an additional edge is given by the fact that the sides had not previously crossed paths.

For Gauff, the clay segment has been challenging. However, in terms of playing style, she is quite versatile. She conquered her only junior major precisely on clay. And as a professional, she has performed impressively at Roland Garros (top-2 and twice top-8). Moreover, the American won a major title on Italian clay a couple of years ago (Parma). Although this time, she is not the main contender for the ultimate championship. A few hours ago, the tennis player won a tough battle against Paula Badosa, and before that, she was completely overwhelmed by Jacqueline Cristian.

Wang feels most comfortable on hard courts, but she can adapt to other conditions as needed. This season, Xinyu showed herself well only at the Australian Open (top-2), after which she experienced a significant slump. Now, the Chinese player is actively improving again, aiming to reach peak level closer to the start of the majors. On these courts, she had a considerable struggle with Linda Noskova, leaving no chance for Naomi Osaka and Shelby Rogers.

❓This is the first time these tennis players have met. As a result, we strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the personal results of Cori Gauff and Qinwen Zheng. This will heighten the intrigue factor even further, given there is no prior history between the two players.
