Coco Gauff vs Paula Badosa prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Australian Open 2025

Both players have provided edge of the seat thrillers.

Coco Gauff’s road in the Australian Open 2025 is about to get thrilling, as the 20-year-old braces for Paula Badosa, who is coming after dismantling Olga Danilovic in the fourth round, cruising to a 6-1, 7-6(2) win and firing off seven aces along the way.

Gauff, anyway, is no stranger to real challenges this year. The semi-finalist in 2024 Down-Under has been in blazing form at Melbourne Park; and has lost only one set in the entire tournament before coming back to beat Belinda Bencic 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 after dropping a set.

Preview

Gauff’s presence on court has been anything but dominant at Australian Open 2025. The Mouratoglou Tennis Academy Alumni didn’t drop a set until fourth round; and dispatched Sofia Kennin, Jodie Burrage, Leylah Fernandez in straight sets.

But it was in the fourth round that Gauff showed her stomach for fight back! The 20-year-old, after losing the first set 5-7 to 2021 Tokyo Gold Medalist Belinda Bencic, turned the match around in spectacular fashion and fired back and won the next two sets 6-2, 6-1, completing a remarkable comeback.

Badosa’s 2024 Australian Open has been quite extraordinary, as the Spaniard is making her deepest run through Melbourne Park by reaching the quarterfinals for the very first time. Like Coco Gauff, Badosa also lost just one set on her way to this stage—against Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, in the third round.

Most recently, she has continued her brilliant play, this time disposing of Olga Danilovic in two very straight sets.

Match prediction

Paula Badosa might be enjoying her best run at the ‘Happy Slam’ this year but she herself would be worried about her chances of turning over Gauff on Hard Court in Quarterfinals. Gauff is 9-0 on the surface in 2025 and has usually done well with the 2023 US Open coming on it.

Badosa, although has looked outstanding at Melbourne Park, has had an inconsistent 5-2 record in 2025, and usually falls off after a decent run. For Gauff, who has shown a strong run in the last few months, including a WTA Finals win, this game is hers to lose.

Prediction: Gauff to win in three sets.
