Swiatek has won both meetings against Gauff in straight sets. The matches took place in 2022 Miami and 2021 Rome.

Gauff continues to grow before our eyes, and she’s a worthy opponent in this match, capable of an upset when she’s playing at her best. There’s some value with the young American and massive plus money. With that said, Swiatek continues to steamroll the competition, and she’s simply not somebody you should be eager to step in front of, as I’ve said time and time again. Swiatek is on a historic run and there are no signs of it slowing down.

I’ll be rooting for Gauff and the upset, but I have to side with Swiatek in straight sets in terms of business.
