Gauff has been amazing this season especially on Clay being 14-3 on the surface for the season. She has already defeated some of the top seeds including the 2021 Madrid Open winner Aryna Sabalenka and will come into the confident and looking to level the scores with Brady in the head-to-head tie where Coco is behind.

Jennifer is 5-2 on Clay for the season and has not looked in great touch this season. She will however be confident of putting up a great fight after a straight-set win in the first round and staging a comeback after losing the 2nd set in her 2nd round game.
