Rankings & Form
Coco Gauff holds a significant ranking advantage at No. 4 with 6,704 points, compared to Zeynep Sonmez ranked 53rd with 1,087 points. Gauff’s current streak of five consecutive wins (WWW W W) contrasts with Sonmez’s more uneven recent form of LLWLW. This difference in momentum is a key factor heading into their US Open clash.
Playing Styles
Gauff’s aggressive baseline game and strong serve have propelled her steadily through the draw, especially on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows. Sonmez, while talented, tends to have less consistency in rallies, as reflected in her recent results where she has struggled to close matches despite some promising sets won. Gauff’s ability to maintain pressure with deep groundstrokes could expose Sonmez’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Recent Results
Sonmez’s last four matches include two straight-set losses and one narrow three-set defeat (L 1-2), indicating some difficulty in sustaining form against higher-tier opponents. Meanwhile, Gauff has won all her recent matches comfortably, including two 2-0 victories at the US Open. This contrast suggests Gauff’s confidence and physical condition are peaking at the right moment.
Match Outlook
Given the ranking gap, current form, and surface suitability, Gauff is the clear favorite to take the win, with odds around 1.30. A strong start is likely, as reflected by the AI’s prediction of Gauff winning the first set at approximately 1.50 odds. Sonmez will need to disrupt Gauff’s rhythm early to have any chance of an upset.
