Both players dropped a set en route to this stage, and have a spot in the last eight in their sights. With Gauff struggling with her serve and forehand in recent times, Bencic will look to pounce on the minor opening. However, the American’s champion mentality spares nobody.

Coco Gauff vs Belinda Bencic Match Preview

Coco Gauff produced her best tennis during the European clay court swing earlier this year. The 21-year-old lost two consecutive finals in Madrid and Rome, before going the distance and lifting the Roland Garros crown over her shoulders. After failing to win a single match on grass, the World No. 3 began the North American campaign by capturing the doubles titles in Montreal. However, her troubles on the serve and forehand resulted in a premature exit at the US Open, and currently leaves her with a 40-13 record in the 2025 season.

Interestingly enough, Belinda Bencic was one of Gauff’s victims at the Australian Open in January. The Swiss maestro roared back to form by winning the Abu Dhabi Open trophy, and also made the Indian Wells quarterfinal. After a quiet couple of months, the 28-year-old defied all odds to reach the Wimbledon semifinals – her best Grand Slam result as a mother. A gold medalist from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Bencic is currently ranked No. 16 in the world. She has beaten Volynets and Hon so far this week.

Coco Gauff vs Belinda Bencic WTA China Open 2025 Prediction

The American has a slight edge in terms of our pre-match predictions. She has had Bencic’s number in the past, and uses all the angles on the court to push the Swiss starlet to her physical limits. When Bencic manages to find her range, it is hard for any player in the world to keep up. The 28-year-old takes time away from her opponents by moving forward and striking the ball on the rise. However, Gauff’s counter-attacking prowess means that she will make the opposition hit 2-3 extra winners for them to win the point.

Prediction: Coco Gauff in three sets.
