Coco Gauff is set to face Ekaterina Alexandrova in the R16 at Roland Garros, aiming for her fifth consecutive quarter-final in Paris. Gauff comes in strong following runner-up finishes in Madrid and Rome, while Alexandrova boasts a solid performance on clay this season. Both players haven't dropped a set so far, promising an intense battle. Gauff holds a 3-1 head-to-head lead, but Alexandrova’s recent form suggests a potential upset. Look for a match to exceed 20.5 total games, with Gauff winning over 12.5 games.

Coco Gauff vs Ekaterina Alexandrova Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Coco Gauff will be aiming to reach the quarter-finals of Roland Garros for the fifth straight year when she meets the in-form Ekaterina Alexandrova in the R16 on Monday.

Gauff is playing her best tennis of the season, coming into the French Open following back-to-back runner-up showings in Madrid and Rome, while she's advanced into the second week in Paris without dropping a single set. Gauff has won 23 matches throughout her career at Roland Garros - more than any other tournament - and will be hoping to challenge for the title over the next week.

This could prove a tough assignment though. Alexandrova is having a superb season and has registered a 11-3 record on clay, including progressing to the R16 without dropping a set. Additionally, Alexandrova has an impressive 4-8 record against top two players throughout her career and has defeated Gauff in the past. I'm going to back Over 20.5 total games, while half of the sets Gauff has won in this H2H have come in tiebreaks, so the American winning Over 12.5 games also appeals.

Head To Head


Gauff leads 3-1, with the American winning their most-recent clash 7-6 6-2 in the R16 of Berlin on grass last year. This will be their first meeting on clay.

Coco Gauff Form


Gauff comes into this contest with a 27-8 record on the season and still chasing her first title of 2025.

After making the quarter-finals of the Australia Open, Gauff struggled and didn't win more than two matches in a row until Madrid.

However, Gauff recaptured her best tennis on European clay and has won 14 of her last 16 matches, including making the final of both Madrid and Rome.

Having made at least the quarter-finals in her last four visits to Roland Garros, Gauff is looking good to extend that record.

The 21-year-old has defeated Olivia Gadecki, Tereza Valentova and Marie Bouzkova in straight sets to make the R16, although she was forced to recover from 2-4 and 3-5 down in the second set to edge out Bouzkova 6-1 7-6 in the third round.

Ekaterina Alexandrova Form


Alexandrova heads into this encounter with a 20-10 record on the season, highlighted by winning her fifth career title in Linz in February.

The Russian followed that tournament up by reaching the semi-finals of the WTA 1000 event in Doha, defeating World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka along the way.

Consistency has been an issue throughout Alexandrova's career and that was evident again as she proceeded to lose her next three matches.

However, the 30-year-old has bounced back, reaching the semi-finals of Charleston and the semi-finals of Stuttgart before storming through the Roland Garros draw.

Indeed, Alexandrova hasn't dropped more than three games in a set, crushing Lucia Bronzetti, Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Veronika Kudermetova.

Verdict

Both players have been dominant in reaching the R16 in Paris.

Gauff deserves favouritism, but Alexandrova has proven she can trouble top players in the past. I think this will be a competitive encounter that exceeds 20.5 total games, with Gauff winning Over 12.5 games in victory.
