Coco Gauff vs Maria Sakkari Prediction

Sakkari fell outside the Top 50 - a clear reflection of her persistent dip in form. She's won just six matches this year and none of those against a top 20 player, let alone a top 5. Gauff, for her part, was in exceptional form in her opening match, dismantling Sofia Kenin by dishing out two bagel sets. I'm looking at another comprehensive Gauff win here.
