Grabher vs Gauff Prediction & Pick

Gauff being pushed to the brink of elimination was one of the bigger storylines to come out of first-round action in Paris. The 19-year-old handled the adversity well, though, and now gets to face an opponent she has already taken down in 2023. Gauff beat Grabher in two sets under two months ago.

Grabher undoubtedly shines on clay courts, but she racked up 9 double faults in her Round 1 victory and benefitted from the mistakes of her opponent. That won't happen against a pro like Gauff, who made a run to the finals at Roland Garros just last year. She remains a heavy favorite for a reason.

Winner: Coco Gauff

Grabher vs Gauff Best Bet

I expect Gauff to bounce back from a shaky performance in Round 1 with a dominant one in Round 2. Instead of taking on juiced odds, I'll back her to cover the game spread. Gauff defeated Grabher by set scores of 6-1 and 6-3 in April and took down Masarova by a margin of 6 games despite losing the first set. Keep in mind that three of her six victories in Paris last year came by at least seven games, too.

Bet: Coco Gauff -6.5 Games (+118)
