The former World No.1 defeated Lucia Bronzetti 6-3 6-2 in the first round in Beijing. She came back to beat Yulia Putintseva 3-6 6-4 6-2 and took out Katie Volynets 6-3 6-2 without allowing a break point.

Gauff beat Clara Burel 7-5 6-3 in the second round in Beijing, winning 38% of her 2nd serves and saving 3/6 break points. She was more efficient in defeating Katie Boulter 7-5 6-2, allowing one break point.

Verdict

Naomi Osaka v Coco Gauff

Naomi Osaka has won 13 of her last 14 matches in Beijing and didn’t allow a break point in the third round. Coco Gauff can’t be trusted as a favourite right now, my money on Osaka in China.
