Coco Gauff vs Jasmine Paolini prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Cincinnati Open 2025

This will be a rematch of the Italian Open final between Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini.

World No. 9 Jasmine Paolini delivered a statement win over Barbora Krejcikova, avenging her 2024 Wimbledon final loss by taking down the Czech 6–1, 6–2 in just over an hour at the Cincinnati Open.

The Italian broke early and never looked back, racing to a dominant 4–0 lead in the second set. However, Krejcikova’s struggles were mainly due to injuries, which later forced her to call a medical timeout due to a left-foot issue.

Paolini displayed tenacity and avoided break-points throughout the match in what turned out to be a one-sided, straight-sets defeat.

Preview

Coco Gauff defeated Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti 6-2, 6-4 in the Round of 16 at the Cincinnati Open to advance to her second quarterfinal in Cincinnati. With this win, Gauff surpassed Serena Williams for the most WTA 1000 quarterfinal appearances (19) before age 22—moving into third all-time in that category.

The American has enjoyed an easy draw so far, including a walkover. Her first major test will be against the seventh seed Paolini.

The former Cincinnati winner is looking for consistency, which she has not found since her triumph in Paris. While she comfortably beat Bronzetti, Gauff’s success rate was only 63% and 58% on first and second serves, respectively.

Their last meeting was the Rome final, which saw Paolini clinch the title in a dominating straight-sets victory. They had earlier met in Stuttgart, which Paolini won yet again in straight sets. Their other two encounters took place on hard courts in 2021 and 2023, both of which Gauff won.

Match prediction

On hard courts, as their records suggest, Coco Gauff is tipped to be the stronger player. However, both have struggled recently, and with Gauff yet to be tested against quality opponents in this tournament, it has been a smooth ride so far.

On the other hand, Paolini has overcome three tough battles, but will still start as an underdog in this quarter-final clash.

The outcome will likely hinge on serving efficiency and minimizing unforced errors, setting the stage for a potentially fluctuating, momentum-shifting contest.

Result: Coco Gauff will win in three sets.
