Trending
The American No. 1 will be in action for the first time since losing in the Quarterfinal of the Australian Open, when Paula Badosa ended her 11 match winning streak.
World No. 3 Gauff has a 9-1 record this season, as she won all of her matches at the United Cup without dropping a set. She had not even dropped a set in her first eight matches of the season.
On the other hand, Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk defeated the Turkish wildcard, Zeynep Sonmez 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of the tournament. She has 3-3 record on the WTA Tour this season, as her previous two wins were against Nao Hibino and Jule Niemeier at the Australian Open.
Kostyuk was also beaten by Paula Badosa in the third round at the Australian Open, but unlike Coco Gauff, she managed to win a set, as she lost 4-6, 6-4, 3-6.
Coco Gauff vs Marta Kostyuk head-to-head

Coco Gauff vs Marta Kostyuk prediction
Coco Gauff does not have a great record in Doha, as she has won only four matches in her previous three appearances at the event. The 20-year-old was second seed at the event last year but she was stunned by unseeded Katerina Siniakova 2-6, 4-6 in the second round.
She would also want to earn some valuable WTA Ranking points, which can bring her close to Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. The 2023 US Open champion has 22-3 win-loss record since losing to Emma Navarro at the 2024 US Open.
22-year-old Marta Kostyuk has 2-2 win-loss record at the event as she has never reached the third round in Doha. The World No. 22 had a disappointing end to the 2024 season, as she failed to win any title in 2024 and did not reach any final on hard courts since losing to Katie Boulter at the 2024 San Diego Open.
Kostyuk has won only one WTA title in her career, which was 2023 ATX Open in Austin, a WTA 250 event. She has 8-16 win-loss record against Top 10 players and her last Top 10 win on hard court was against Jessica Pegula at the 2024 San Diego Open.
Pick: Gauff to win in straight sets
