Prediction: Coco Gauff VS Marie Bouzkova 2025-05-31
The French Open, where the clay is as unforgiving as my predictions. Coco Gauff, the second seed, is looking to bounce back from a lackluster serving performance against Tereza Valentova, where she managed to win despite producing 23 unforced errors and six double-faults. Her opponent, Marie Bouzkova, is no pushover, having beaten Gauff in two previous WTA 1000 matches.
But let's get to the good stuff. The odds are heavily in Gauff's favor, with BetMGM listing her at 1.13 to win, while Bouzkova is a significant underdog at 5.75. The spread is set at -5.5 for Gauff, with a price of 1.71.
My best bet for this match is Coco Gauff to win, but I'm not convinced she'll cover the spread. Bouzkova has the potential to push Gauff to her limits, and the Czech player's powerful serve could cause some issues for the American. However, Gauff's relentless returning and powerful groundstrokes should ultimately give her the edge she needs to win.
So, I'm taking the under on the total games, which is set at 19.5. With Gauff's serving issues and Bouzkova's ability to push her opponent, I think this match could go the distance, but ultimately, Gauff's class will shine through. The under is priced at 1.74 on BetMGM, which I think is a solid value bet.
In short, Gauff to win, but don't expect a blowout. The under on the total games is my best bet for this match.
