Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanovic Tips, Prediction & Live Stream - Tomljanovic can cover against struggling third seed
Coco Gauff, the third seed and reigning 2023 US Open champion, faces Ajla Tomljanovic in the opening round.

Tomljanovic, who reached the US Open quarter-finals in 2022, enters without pressure, looking to capitalize on Gauff's vulnerabilities. Gauff leads their head-to-head 1-0, having previously defeated Tomljanovic on clay. The match is available for live streaming on platforms like Unibet, with geo-restrictions and age requirements applicable.

Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanovic Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Third seed and 2023 champion Coco Gauff begins her US Open campaign when she comes up against Aussie player Ajla Tomljanovic in the first round on Tuesday night inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The pressure is on for Gauff as she enters her home slam with lots of expectation. The American hasn't played well since winning her second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in June, winning just four matches. Gauff went all the way in New York, winning her maiden major crown in 2023, but she was stopped in the fourth round by countrywoman Emma Navarro in the R16 last year.
Meanwhile, Tomljanovic has also enjoyed some career highlights at the US Open, making the quarter-finals in 2022 - the same year she ended the career of Serena Williams. However, Tomljanovic has been struck down by injuries since that career-best year and she's struggled to get back to that sort of tennis. But in this match, the Aussie has nothing to lose. All the pressure is on Gauff, who has been struggling with her serve and actually hired a biomechanics specialist in an attempt to correct her motion ahead of the tournament. Backing Tomljanovic to cover a big +6.5 line.
Head To Head
Gauff leads 1-0, crushing Tomljanovic 6-0 6-3 on clay at the Paris Olympics last year - although clay is the Aussie's worst surface.
Coco Gauff Form
Gauff has put together a 35-12 record on the season, coming into this clash at No. 3 in the world and having added another Grand Slam title to her trophy cabinet.
However, overall, Gauff hasn't played her best tennis for most of the year. In fact, 17 of her 35 wins for the season came at three tournaments during the clay swing in Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros.
The American hasn't made a hardcourt final in 2025 and has only won four matches since conquering Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open title match, losing in the opening round of Wimbledon.
Gauff was bundled out of Montreal by eventual champion Victoria Mboko in the R16 before going down to Jasmine Paolini in the Cincinnati quarter-finals. Still just 21 years of age, Gauff will be featuring in her seventh US Open main draw this tournament.
Ajla Tomljanovic Form
Tomljanovic has registered a 20-19 record at all levels this season, arriving at the US Open at No. 79 in the world, which is a far way off her career-best ranking of No. 31, which was achieved in 2022.
The Aussie's best results on the main tour have been semi-final showings in Austin and Rabat, along with a third round in Charleston.
It hasn't been a great summer - Tomljanovic lost in the opening round of Toronto to Anastasija Sevastova before second round displays at both Cincinnati and Monterrey, losing to Clara Tauson and Ekaterina Alexandrova respectively.
Tomljanovic's best Grand Slam tournament by winning percentage is the US Open - she holds a 12-10 record in New York, clearing the opening round in seven of her last eight appearances.

Verdict
Gauff hasn't been anywhere near her best since the French Open and there's big question marks surrounding her serve at the moment.
Tomljanovic loves New York and has nothing to lose in prime time here - I'll back the Aussie to cover a big +6.5 games line.
Tomljanovic +6.5
