Gauff has won both matches against Garcia. Those matches were 2021 Indian Wells and this year in Doha. 

Garcia is going to be favored because of this run she’s on, but we’re not going to ignore the h2h history and the fact Gauff has been the more consistent player this year overall. Gruff has the foot speed to trade with Garcia and force her to hit those extra balls, and she obviously has the home crowd on her side. This line is a bit surprising to me.

Either way, give me Gauff and the plus money.
