Coco Gauff vs Shelby Rogers: Prediction 

Shelby Rogers

Shelby Rogers had a great Australian Open and reached the fourth round of the tournament. Even her start at the WTA Adelaide International has been good, and she has already dispatched off the third seed Johanna Konta.

Coco Gauff has played a lot more matches in the last few days, and fatigue may be a factor for the sixteen year old. Overall though even Gauff has done well but has had to endure three straight three sets matches. Shelby Rogers is in good form, fresh and should win this match. 

Match Prediction: Shelby Rogers to win against Coco Gauff  in three sets.
