Preview: Iga Swiatek vs. Coco Gauff – prediction, head-to-head, tournament so far

Coco Gauff faces a monumental challenge against her nemesis, Iga Swiatek, in Tuesday’s WTA Finals match as she attempts to overcome a daunting losing streak.

Although one place separates both women in the rankings, the Polish star has dominated this match-up, and she bids for a 12th

The Pole lost the opening set and trailed by a double break in set two; however, she clinched the win after claiming 13 of the subsequent 17 games for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 success.

Despite her lofty standards, losing her first competitive match on the tour since late August would have been understandable for the out-of-sorts five-time Slam champion.

However, she found solutions to Krejcikova frankly outplaying her in the first half of a match that lasted two hours and 32 minutes by notching her sixth victory on the trot at the Finals.

That triumph boosts her prospects before playing one of her favourite opponents, with qualification for the semis all but assured with a win.

Gauff, 20, is a Slam champion and has made it to three consecutive WTA Finals; yet, getting the better of Swiatek remains problematic.

The American is 1-11 in her head-to-head with the world No. 2 and heads into their 13th match on the tour on a four-match losing run against the five-time majors winner.

Although she could take confidence from Krejcikova running Swiatek close and recently snapping a three-match losing streak against Jessica Pegula, Tuesday’s opponent is a different kettle of fish.

An uphill battle awaits the in-form American No. 1, whose form entering the year-end tournament saw her surge to the title in Beijing and reach the semis in Wuhan before falling to eventual champion and current No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.

Arguably playing her best tennis since claiming last year’s US Open, Gauff hopes that puts her in good stead to stun her bogey opponent in Riyadh.
