Command Analysis
Cori Gauff
USACurrent form
A year ago, Gauff stopped at the semi-final stage of the final tournament. Then she could not do anything against her compatriot Pegula. This time, Cori was one step away from the final, defeating the world number one Aryna Sabalenka (7-6, 6-3). Both tennis players played a weak match, played uncertainly on their serve, but Aryna made many more unforced errors. In the group, we recall, Gauff, following two rounds after victories over Pegula and Swiatek, guaranteed herself a place in the semi-finals, in the third round she lost to Krejcikova.
Professional qualities
Gauff has excellent movement on the court and the ability to cover any positions when hitting opponents. Cori is always ready to hit powerfully down the line, but she often has problems with the second serve, and in some matches the number of double faults is off the charts.
Current indicators in the tour
Gauff is the third racket in the world, and she has not won a single major title this year – she won tournaments in Auckland and Beijing.

2.15Tip and bets
Bookmakers give a clear advantage to Gauff in the upcoming final, although it cannot be said that she is playing her matches flawlessly; periodically, one could see a huge number of unforced errors in Cori actions, and she is also acting unconvincingly on her serve in Riyadh. In terms of her current form, Zheng Jingwe is unlikely to be inferior to the American in any way at the moment. We believe that, given the odds set, it is worth betting on the underdog in this pair.
Our prediction is Zheng Jingwen victory with odds of 2.49
