2022 USO QF: Garcia vs. Gauff

[tented]

I think Gauff wins again, in 3 sets.

 

[tossip]

Gauff in three

 

[Hailz]

Gotta go with Coco in 3.

 

[Front242]

Garcia in 3 for me.

 

[Hailz]

Good to have a few hour break until this match comes on. Gives me time to have dinner and get my school binders together before this epic match.

 

[Front242]

The only thing that has me rethink is that Garcia has a history of letdowns at big events and with most of the crowd behind Gauff it may well affect her. With that in mind, it could well be Gauff in 3. Local bookies have a "special" on Gauff to win 2-0 at 3.5 but that's 'cos they know she won't. Probably a 3 setter whoever wins.

True fact with Caroline and her letdowns at big tournaments, though her new coach has put a new mental approach for her, she seems to have that 'fire in her belly'.

Yeah, it's tough to call. She'd never beaten Riske before or even taken a set off her and just beat her. The whole player A never beat player B so it's going to be the same result again is a foolish ploy in sports betting. It's rare for players to keep beating their opponents and should be based on form, with exceptions obviously such as Nadal v Gasquet which is never in doubt as an example where the h2h really is telling.

 

[Front242]

Some bookies have it dead even now with same odds for both but earlier today Gauff was the underdog.

The way that Caroline Garcia has been playing, I can easily see why Coco would be considered as the underdog. This is not going to be some walk in the park for Coco.

 

[Front242]

Changed my mind again and bet Garcia outright, no set betting. Will wake up to the result!

Only €10 anyway on the treble below Get back €53.82 if they all pan out.

Khachanov v Kyrgios + 5.5 game handicap so 6 games added to his game tally so the bet wins even if he loses but ends up with more games thanks to the handicap.

Pegula v Swiatek - Playing safe even though I think Pegula will probably win so it cut the odds quite considerably but backed Pegula with + 4.5 game handicap also 'cos adding 5 games makes it more likely to win.

Garcia to win.

I am certain we will hear from you if you lose lol!

Gauff's 2nd serve has been getting punished whereas Garcia is winning a lot more with hers. That could be the difference. We'll see! Last minute decision to choose Garcia really. I was going to go for over 21.5 games so 7-6 6-3 or 7-5 6-4 covers that possibility but the bookies with their Gauff to win 2-0 "special" makes me think it may actually be Garcia in 2 or 3 so taking a go on that.

Garcia's serve is one of the best on the women's tour.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco has to bring that ball toss a tad lower

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This is where Coco is let down by her serve, a DF and Garcia breaks

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco has to stand on that baseline she is getting pushed off from Garcia

 

[kskate2]

I was just going to mention it seems Coco is surprised by the power of Garcia. This shouldn't be a shock to her and she's got to do what you said. Stand on that baseline, absorb pace and not get bossed

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco has to step in on Garcia 2nd serve like she did, with her BHDL , well done Coco
