Gauff’s Late-Season Surge Signals Big Ambitions
Coco Gauff endured a shock loss to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro at the United Cup, but everything else she touched there was close to flawless. Straight-set wins over Maria Sakkari and Iga Swiatek underlined her status as a leading title contender this fortnight.
After a few early stumbles in 2025, Gauff’s season turned decisively with back-to-back WTA 1000 finals in Madrid and Rome. That surge culminated in her second Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros, confirming her return to the top tier.
She rounded out the year in strong fashion, reaching the semifinals in Beijing and lifting the trophy in Wuhan. With momentum restored and confidence high, Gauff arrives here firmly among the favorites.

Kamilla Rakhimova Facing an Uphill Task
Kamilla Rakhimova struggled to make an impact in the early swing, exiting qualifying in both Brisbane and Adelaide after losses to Rebecca Sramkova and Sorana Cirstea.
Those results reflect a wider slump, with Rakhimova not progressing beyond the second round of a tour-level event since Wimbledon and needing until May to record back-to-back wins in 2025.
Her outlook for a fourth Australian Open main draw appearance remains cautious, though she will take confidence from securing direct entry via a WTA 125 indoor title in Angers last December.

Verdict
Everything points toward a one-way contest here. With her superior depth and physical edge, Gauff should dictate play throughout and come through this match with minimal fuss.
