Aug 14, 2025; Cincinnati, OH, USA; Coco Gauff (USA) returns a shot against Lucia Bronzetti (ITA) during the Cincinnati Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.

After coming through straight sets victories in their previous encounter, Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini are set to lock horns in the 2025 Cincinnati Open Quarterfinals on Friday. There is very little to separate these two players in terms of consistency on tour, as well as past rivalry. Can the home favourite and World No. 2 advance to the Cincinnati final four? Follow BetMGM to be updated with everything you need to know about the betting tips for tennis matches.

Despite her recent struggles on serve, Coco Gauff has looked like an immovable force in Cincinnati. Having received a walkover in Round-3, she has played just two matches thus far. Gauff’s season took off only in May, when she finished as the runner-up in Madrid. The following month, the 21-year-old captured her second major at Roland Garros. Since then, Gauff has struggled to string together a solid run of performances. She currently holds a 35-11 record so far this year.

19 – Since the Tier I/WTA-1000 format was introduced in 1990, Coco Gauff (19) is now the outright player with the third most quarterfinals in such events before turning 22. Solid. #CincyTennis | @CincyTennis @WTA @WTA_insider pic.twitter.com/9jn5JVgekC

One of the best players on the doubles circuit, Jasmine Paolini’s singles campaign has been bittersweet in 2025. Having reached the final in two Grand Slams last year, the World No. 9 has failed to notch another mind-boggling run this year. After reaching consecutive semis in Miami and Stuttgart, Paolini secured her one and only trophy at the Italian Open on home soil. The 29-year-old has beaten Sakkari, Krueger and Krejcikova without dropping a set en route to the last eight stage.

Coco Gauff vs Jasmine Paolini WTA Cincinnati Open 2025 Prediction

Coco Gauff has managed to work on her serve – she hit just 3 doubles faults vs. Bronzetti – her lowest tally since the Roland Garros semifinal. While her counter-attacking game is second to none, her serve remains the variable that could alter the nature of this contest. Meanwhile, Paolini will look to keep the rallies short and intense. There is a high chance that she will adopt an attacking position on the American’s serve, and target the inconsistent forehand of the 21-year-old.

Prediction: Jasmine Paolini in three sets.
