Katerina Siniakova and Coco Gauff meet in the first round of the 2023 tennis German Open. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
Katerina Siniakova Betting Preview
Katerina Siniakova enters this tournament on a 3-match losing streak, as she hasn’t won since Indian Wells. Siniakova is coming off a loss in the French Open, where she had 11 double faults and 30 unforced errors. Siniakova has lost each of her last 6 sets, and it simply hasn’t been pretty. It probably doesn’t help that this will be Siniakova’s first match on grass since Wimbledon. Siniakova has 8 career wins over top-10 players, but she’s lost 5 of her last 6 matches. Siniakova has lost 4 straight matches on grass court.
Coco Gauff Betting Preview
Coco Gauff is coming off a quarterfinal appearance in the French Open, which should give her a great deal of confidence. It’s been an up and down year for Gauff and that performance was probably her best since January with her runs in New Zealand and Australia. Gauff has won 8 of her last 12 matches overall, and she hasn’t lost an opening match since the Billie Jean King Cup back in November. Gauff has won 7 of her last 10 matches on grass court.
H2H History
Gauff has won 4 of the 5 meetings against Siniakova, including the most recent match this year in the Australian Open. Siniakova’s lone win was in the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup. This will be the first match on grass. Four of the matches were decided in straight sets.
Randy’s Pick
Siniakova is in a serious funk, and playing a top-10 player isn’t what the doctor ordered to get out of it. The H2H numbers also don’t favor the 27-year-old. This should honestly be a routine match for the American with the way Siniakova is piling up the unforced errors.
Give me Gauff in straight sets to shave the juice.
