Coco Gauff vs. Ekaterina Alexandrova French Open 2025 Prediction

Coco Gauff’s previous clay court run is pretty impressive but Alexandrova will be a tough opponent. The Russian ace can push for long rallies but Gauff has a dominance on the clay. Coco has to avoid errors like she did in the second set against Bouzkova. Both players have different playing style and world No. 2 should crack the quarterfinals.

Prediction: Coco Gauff to win in three sets.
