Neither of these players have dropped a set in this tournament, and this match will likely come down to how well Gauff serves.
Even if her serve comes back down to earth, Jabeur should still get the job done, just as she did in both of the previous meetings between these two.Ĭoco Gauff (+105) vs. If Jabeur can repeat her serving performance from the fourth round against Veronika Kudermetova (11 aces, no double faults), she should cruise to victory. Stylistically, this match also favors Jabeur, as Tomljanovic likes to redirect opponents' power but Jabeur doesn't give you much pace to work with, instead relying on adept point construction and a variety of spins and slices. Jabeur's ranked 5th, and she'd be even higher if the ranking points from her runner-up finish at Wimbledon counted, while Tomljanovic has yet to face a seeded opponent here. Tomljanovic won't lack belief after backing up her big win over Serena Williams with a 7-6 (8), 6-1 fourth-round triumph over Liudmila Samsonova in which she saved eight set points, but Jabeur presents a big step up in level of opponent for the unseeded Australian. Kyrgios is rightfully favored, but it's hard not to like the value on Khachanov as the heavy underdog. They've split two previous meetings, with Khachanov winning in Cincinnati in 2019 and Kyrgios getting revenge in a fifth-set tiebreak at the 2020 Australian Open. This is the third Grand Slam quarterfinal of Khachanov's career, and the 26-year-old Russian also captured the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics on hard courts last year. The 31st-ranked Khachanov presents a far tougher test for Kyrgios, who will need to guard against a letdown after the high of upsetting No. He finally got over the hump in this round at this year's Wimbledon after losing twice, but that win came against unseeded Cristian Garin.
Sure, this is a more focused and fit version of Nick Kyrgios than we've seen in years past, but it might be a little premature to declare him a heavy favorite in just the fourth Grand Slam quarterfinal of the 27-year-old Australian's career.
