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

Paolini has won all three of her previous battles against Gauff in 2025.
Coco Gauff cruised into the semi-finals of 2025 Wuhan Open with a dominant 6-3, 6-0 victory over Germany’s Laura Siegemund. The World No.3 fired eight aces, broke her opponent’s serve four times, and capitalised on Siegemund’s five double faults to seal the match in commanding fashion.
The win marks Gauff’s second straight WTA 1000 semi-final in China, following her run at the China Open a week earlier. However, the American has been granted a generous draw so far, and faces her first test against #7 seed Jasmine Paolini.
The Italian produced a clinical performance to stun World No. 2 Iga Swiatek 6-1, 6-2 and reach the semi-finals of the 2025 Wuhan Open. After six consecutive losses to the Pole, Paolini dominated from the start, breaking Swiatek’s serve six times and committing only three unforced errors in a near-flawless 65-minute display.

Match prediction
Gauff and Paolini share a competitive head-to-head, with the Italian holding a slight 3-2 edge overall. However, all three of Paolini’s wins over Gauff in 2025 came on clay courts, whereas Wuhan’s hard-court surface tends to favour Gauff’s aggressive baseline game and powerful serve.
Gauff’s ability to dominate from the back of the court and minimize unforced errors has made her particularly effective on faster surfaces, giving her a strategic advantage in this matchup.
Result: Coco Gauff to win in three sets.
