Coco Gauff - Ons Jabeur predictions and free betting tips [04/06/2024]

Tomorrow, in the women’s singles quarterfinals at Roland-Garros, American Coco Gauff will face Tunisian Ons Jabeur.

Coco Gauff

Currently ranked third in the world, Cori Gauff continues to display a high level of play in 2024, performing impressively at Roland-Garros. Starting the tournament with four victories, the American has not lost a single set, which reaffirms her skill and consistency. In the first round, she secured a convincing win over Yulia Avdeeva with a score of 6-1, 6-1. This was followed by victories over Tamara Zidansek 6-3, 6-4 and Dayana Yastremska 6-2, 6-4, where Gauff showcased excellent movement and powerful shots. In the fourth-round match, Cori faced Elisabetta Cocciaretto, whom she also defeated without much trouble, posting a result of 6-1, 6-2. Gauff handled the pressure well, despite struggling with her first serve at times, which occasionally impeded her ability to score points. Nevertheless, she managed to compensate for the shortcomings with exceptional baseline play, allowing her to maintain control of the game. Currently in the tournament, Gauff demonstrates not only technical mastery but also psychological resilience, successfully coping with each new challenge. Coco Gauff won the tournament in Auckland earlier in 2024, held on hard courts. Overall, Gauff has 29 wins and 8 losses in 2024, with 11 wins and 3 losses on clay.

Ons Jabeur

In 2024, despite initial difficulties and four losses in eight clay-court matches before Roland-Garros, Ons Jabeur managed to show character and won four consecutive matches for the first time. At the start of the Paris tournament, Jabeur did not display her best tennis, having a low first-serve accuracy and making many unforced errors. However, she managed to defeat her opponents ranked between 75-140 and gradually improved her performance against more serious contenders. Her tournament path included victories over Osorio-Serano, a match that went to three sets (6-3, 1-6, 6-3), Sachia Vickery, Leylah Fernandez, and Clara Tauson. Ons Jabeur has established herself as one of the most talented players, capable of both attacking and defending, thanks to her outstanding physical preparation and technique. At the current Roland-Garros, despite serving issues, she demonstrated remarkable play, using drop shots, slices, and being active at the net—an aspect that has become her hallmark. Jabeur’s fascinating playing style with powerful forehands allows her to dominate her opponents and successfully progress through the tournament draw. Having passed through four rounds of the tournament without significant losses and managing to defend her previous year's quarterfinal result, Jabeur has shown that she is ready for new challenges and can improve her achievements. Jabeur participated in the tournament in Rome but exited in the round of 32, losing to Sofia Kenin. Overall, Ons has 10 wins and 9 losses this season, with a hard-court record of 2-5.

Head-to-Head Matches

The ladies have faced each other six times, with the American securing four victories since 2020. In their last match in 2023 at the year-end tournament in Cancun, Gauff triumphed in the final with a score of 6-0, 6-1. In 2022, on the grass courts of Berlin, Jabeur was stronger with a score of 7-6, 6-2.

Match Prediction: Gauff vs. Jabeur

Jabeur currently doesn’t look as strong as she did a couple of seasons ago and lacks stability. On the other hand, Gauff has been learning from her mistakes and is showing bright and powerful gameplay. In the clash of these two opponents with strong styles, I’d bet on Coco with a handicap of (-4.5) games.
