Coco Gauff vs Clara Burel Preview
Â
Coco Gauff will begin her Asian swing at the 2024 China Open in Beijing. The American surrendered her US Open title earlier this month after losing to countrywoman Emma Navarro in the round of 16.
Overall, Gauff is 41-15 for the season, and her priority right now is to qualify for the WTA Finals. The 20-year-old has not won a singles title since the opening weekend of the season in Auckland and recently parted company with celebrated American coach Brad Gilbert.Â
Gauff will embark on a new chapter, but has not yet confirmed who her new coach will be. She is defending semifinal points in Beijing and received a bye in the first round for being a seeded player.Â
Clara Burel won her opening match at the 2024 China Open against Tamara Korpatsch in three sets. Burel needed two hours and 12 minutes to complete the win. In the victory, she landed 57% of first serves and won 67% of first-serve points (36/54). Burel won 44% of second-serve points (18/41) and converted seven of 14 break points.Â
She improved to 21-23 for the season, but she has not won back-to-back matches since August, when she made the Cleveland quarterfinals.

Coco Gauff vs Clara Burel Prediction
Gauff will start a new chapter in her career without her now ex-coach Brad Gilbert. It was clear that she needed to make some big changes in her coaching team, with her forehand marked as an area of underperformance. In this particular match, I don’t expect Gauff to lack any tactical acumen to beat Burel. She’s incredibly too powerful and more agile than the Frenchwoman. And maybe now that she has stepped away from the spotlight, she can play without pressure.
