Ajla Tomljanovic vs Coco Gauff Prediction: Coco Gauff won’t disappoint

Ajla Tomljanovic and Coco Gauff are both heading into the Olympics tournament round of 64. Both players will play against each other in the opening round for a chance to progress into the round of 32. This will be the very first meeting between Ajla Tomljanovic and Coco Gauff in their careers.

Ajla Tomljanovic is an Australian professional tennis player who has captured four singles and three doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 3 April 2023, she achieved a career-best singles ranking of world No. 32. She came second at No. 47 in the doubles rankings on 5 January 2015. She made her first Olympics appearance at the 2021 Olympics and was eliminated in the second round.

Coco Gauff is an American tennis player. She has won seven career singles titles, including the 2023 US Open, and nine career doubles titles, including the 2024 French Open. She has a career-high WTA ranking of No. 1 in the world. She is ranked No. 2 in singles and No. 1 in doubles. She made her WTA tour debut in March 2019 at the Miami Open at the age of 15. She received a wild card into the 2019 Wimbledon qualifying draw and eventually won, becoming the youngest player in history to enter the Wimbledon main draw. There she defeated Venus Williams to move up to fourth place. Gauff won her first singles title at the 2019 Linz Open. She reached her first Grand Slam doubles final at the 2021 US Open and her first Grand Slam singles final at the 2022 French Open. In 2023, she won her first WTA 1000 title at the Cincinnati Open and then won her first Grand Slam singles title at the US Open.

Looking at recent form, head-to-head record, and playing conditions, Coco Gauff would be the favorite to win. Of course, her aggressive style coupled with the confidence boost from just winning a Grand Slam makes her quite strong. But Tomljanović's experience and the tactical way of playing might hurt if she ever gets that forehand going on Gauff.
