Coco Gauff vs Dayana Yastremska: 2024 Roland Garros - Preview & Prediction

Coco Gauff will try to keep her 2024 Roland Garros run going against Dayana Yastremska, as they will meet in the third round of the tournament.

The 20-year-old has been really good this year, and that's why she's considered one of the potential winners of this event. She even declared it a goal not long ago, and her play has backed it up.

She has had no problems so far, winning both of her matches with ease, and now she's looking to keep that going against her first seeded opponent. The Ukranian is a tricky player because she brings a lot of power.

She's the type of player Gauff can struggle with, depending on how well her opponent plays. The best of Yastremka can beat the American, but an average performance won't cut it.

The crucial factor for Gauff will be forcing her opponent to hit one more shot because her all-out playstyle is high risk and high reward. She doesn't always get rewarded, and that's how opponents beat her.

Head-to-head:

They have played only once so far, and it happened recently in Madrid. Gauff won that match easily 6-4, 6-1, and that's not a good indicator for Yastremska because the conditions in Paris will suit her even less than in Madrid.

She's a solid player on clay, but the slower the court is, the harder it will be for her to hit a winner because Gauff can get to all the balls. Even so there is a minor chance that she can win this match.

Prediction:

It will be very tough to get through her opponent for the Ukrainian. Gauff is too solid and looks too confident to lose this match.

Prediction: Coco Gauff to win in two sets.
