TENNIS
Watch as Coco Gauff ‘ Thread’s ahead of Julia Avdeeva.
Coco Gauff adapted expertly to the clay early in her career and whilst she was beaten in her only French Open final to date, it would be a surprise were she not to mount another challenge for the title this year. Julia Avdeeva played some good tennis to come through the qualifying, but this is an entirely different sort of challenge.
Prediction: Gauff in 2
Jordan:
The US Open champion has been good at avoiding upsets in opening rounds this year, which has only happened on one occasion. It is tough to see how Avdeeva can trouble Gauff enough. No part of her game is better than the American’s.
