Rebeka Masarova and Coco Gauff meet in the first round of the 2023 tennis French Open. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

Rebeka Masarova Betting Preview

Rebeka Masarova is enjoying a breakout year, as she made an ITF final back in April and made her first main tour final in Auckland back in January. At 23 years old, Masarova will now make her French Open debut. Despite failing to qualify for Rome, Masarova has still won 7 of her last 10 matches overall and should be confident entering this big stage. Masarova looks to make the second round of a grand slam for the second time in 3 career tries. Masarova has won 7 of her last 10 matches on clay court.

Coco Gauff Betting Preview

Coco Gauff has had issues stringing wins together since making the quarterfinals at Indian Wells, as it’s been win once and lose her next match ever since. We know Gauff is a big tournament player, so the lack of recent consistent success can be overlooked with a proven young star. Gauff currently has the sixth-best odds to win this tournament. Gauff is 12-2 in career grand slam first round matches. Gauff and her 79 percent winning percentage at the French Open is her best in any of the grand slams. Gauff has split her last 8 matches on clay court.

H2H History

Gauff won the only match against Masarova, which was this year in Auckland. The match was decided in straight sets and 14 games.

Randy’s Pick

Gauff isn’t in great form, but she’s done damage at the French Open in three years, which includes making the final year last year. Masarova lacks big tournament experience and also doesn’t have a lot of play against top tier players. Could argue the moment will be too big for Masarova.

Give me Gauff in straight sets to shave the price.
