Coco Gauff vs Belinda Bencic prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Madrid Open 2025

Coco Gauff will be looking to avenge her Indian Wells defeat against Bencic.

Coco Gauff survived a close contest against Dayana Yastremska in the second round, and is looking for an improved outing in Madrid. She achieved her task in the round of 32 clash against Ann Li. The American found her grove, and looked in complete control, as she dropped only five games on her path to victory.

A success rate of 71% on first serves highlighted Gauff’s powerful performance, as she bossed both serving and returning games, winning as many as eight games on a row. Having now found her rhythm; Gauff will be hoping to complete a deeper run into the tournament and pose herself as a potential contender for the title.

Preview

Coco Gauff has won two WTA-1000 events, but is yet to triumph on clay. She has been off colour since the start of 2025, and the focus will be on whether she can turn things around. However, the American will have her task cut out, as she comes up against familiar nemesis, Belinda Bencic, for the third time this season.

The Swiss star has been inconsistent this year, delivering occasional flashes of brilliance, including her title run in Abu Dhabi and deep campaigns at the Australian Open and Indian Wells, which helped her climb back into the Top 50. While the American prevailed over Bencic in Melbourne, the Swiss returned the favour at Indian Wells.

With both of their previous two encounters going the distance and featuring dramatic turnarounds, this emerging rivalry promises another thrilling chapter as they clash in the Round of 16.

Match prediction

Belinda Bencic’s journey in 2025 has either been all in or nothing. When the Swiss has decided to stamp her authority in an event, she has succeeded. Having reached the semi-finals at the Madrid Open in 2019, Bencic has an idea of the conditions at the Manzanares Park.

The past battles between Gauff and Bencic have been entertaining, and both players enter this clash on the back of comprehensive victories. As an unseeded player, Bencic has faced tougher opponents, including the in form Clara Tauson who she downed in straight sets, and Beatriz Haddad Maia, who she overcame in a tough three-hour encounter.

Coming from a set down to win the last two sets in tiebreaks will have given Belinda Bencic a massive boost in confidence. If she can maintain her energy levels, she could pose serious problems for Gauff in what promises to be a mouth-watering contest.

Result: Bencic will win in three sets.
