Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Tomljanovic reached the fourth round of the French Open upon her debut in 2014 but has won only three more matches at the venue since then. Given that tennis at the Olympics is being held there as well, it isn't a promising sign.
Gauff, on the other hand, has thrived at the venue. She has a 20-5 record in Paris, including a semifinal finish this year and a runner-up finish in 2022. Her last three losses at the venue have all come against Iga Swiatek, who went on to win the title all three times.
Gauff has always made it past the first hurdle at Roland Garros and hasn't lost before the quarterfinals since 2021. The American will be expected to make a winning start to her Olympic campaign in singles as well.
Pick: Coco Gauff to win in straight sets.
