Cori Gauff has been on a splendid run this year and will be a great challenge for the Latvian who has not impressed greatly in 2021. Sevastova had to win in 3 sets in her round 1 tie, which would also be advantageous for the well rested Gauff against the tired Sevastova.

Prediction: Cori Gauff to win in 3 sets.
