This Friday, Frenchwoman Clara Burel faces American and top 10 member Cori Gauff in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Beijing. Clara Burel won her first round against Lucky Loser Tamara Korpatsch in a 3-set match that lasted more than 2 hours. Also winning her first round at the US Open and the Monastir tournament, the Frenchwoman was unable to get past the second round at the Grand Slam, stopped by world number 23 Victoria Azarenka, and then the second round in Monastir against world number 61 Rebecca Sramkova. Her previous performances should therefore not work in her favor in this second round against a formidable opponent.
Indeed, Cori Gauff is the number 4 seed in this tournament. Victorious in her first 3 rounds at the US Open Grand Slam in her last tournament, the American was also in the 8th finals of Wimbledon, semi-finalist at Roland Garros and semi-finalist at the Australian Open. Performances that demonstrate her superiority against the Frenchwoman in the biggest tournaments and that should allow her to be more confident than ever in her first round of this Masters 1000. In addition, Cori Gauff knows this tournament perfectly since she reached the semi-finals here last year.
