Cori Gauff Player Overview
Coco Gauff is showcasing impressive form, riding a six-match winning streak. However, in the last two rounds of the Australian Open, she has dropped a set to her opponents: Baptiste (top-70 WTA) and Muchova (top-19 WTA). Notably, in 7 out of her last 10 Grand Slam quarterfinals, Gauff has also lost at least one set. Nevertheless, on hard courts, the American feels confident, thanks to her powerful serve with a 65% success rate and active net play. Yet, this aggressive style leads to frequent double faults, with around 9% recorded over her last ten matches.

Elina Svitolina Player Overview
Even Gauff's winning streak pales in comparison to Elina Svitolina's results this season: she remains unbeaten and has claimed the title in Auckland. At the Australian Open, the Ukrainian has yet to drop a set. Her triumph over the world No. 7 Mirra Andreeva in the Round of 16 (6-2, 6-4) was particularly impressive. Elina may not possess the most powerful shots and often plays as a counter-puncher. She excels on return, winning 58% of break points, and thrives in long rallies-something she fears less than the likes of Coco Gauff, as she is less prone to unforced errors. Drawing parallels with her upcoming opponent: in each of their three head-to-head encounters, Elina has won at least 12 games.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both athletes are in excellent form, though Gauff's absolute dominance has faltered in her last couple of matches. The difference in styles could play a decisive role in this encounter. We're likely to witness a clash where Gauff emphasizes her powerful serves, while Svitolina relies on her reliability and consistency from the baseline. Sure, Gauff's game might be more suited for hard courts, but the calculated and patient Ukrainian is capable of extending the match, waiting for her opponent to make mistakes, as seen in their previous two meetings. We suggest taking advantage of her underdog status and betting on Svitolina's total over 10.5.
