Tennis Predictions
Among the favorites for this 2025 edition of the Australian Open, the American Coco Gauff will face the British Jodie Burrage in the second round in Melbourne.
3rd player in the world, Coco Gauff has established herself as one of the strongest competitors to Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. Winner of the US Open in 2023 but also of the WTA Finals last November, the American now wants to garnish her Grand Slam trophy. Arriving in good form in Melbourne after a faultless run during the United Cup, Coco Gauff did not have to use her strength during her first round, easily defeating her compatriot Sofia Kenin. Two small sets to get the machine going in this Australian Open before meeting Jodie Burrage for a ticket for the 3rd round.
173rd in the WTA, the Briton knows that she will have to achieve an exploit to see the next round. But winner of the Frenchwoman Leolia Jeanjean in the first round, Jodie Burrage unlocked her counter in Australia with a first career success in this tournament. Enough to give ambition to a player used to traveling the secondary circuit. However, it has now been 3 Grand Slam tournaments in a row (after Wimbledon and the US Open) that Jodie Burrage has passed the first round and her ranking does not indicate the real value of her tennis. What to dream of an earthquake on Wednesday morning!
