Coco Gauff vs Caroline Wozniacki preview
World No. 6 Coco Gauff will face off against 2018 Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki in an exciting fourth-round match at the 2023 US Open on Sunday (September 3).
Gauff scored wins over Laura Siegemund and Mirra Andreeva to make it to the third round, where she took on 32nd seed Elise Mertens. The American matched her opponent shot for shot at the start of the match but lost the plot halfway through the first set.
Mertens swept the last four games of the set to clinch it. Gauff struck first in the second set to go up a break, but the Belgian managed to get back on serve. The teenager then raised her level as she reeled off four games in a row to capture the set.
Gauff didn't let go of the momentum as she continued to dictate the play well into the third set. The set was over rather quickly as she bagged six consecutive games to wrap up a 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 comeback win.
Wozniacki, meanwhile, moved past Tatiana Prozorova and Petra Kvitova to reach the third round, where she faced Jennifer Brady. The Dane led by a break in the first set but squandered her advantage and went on to lose the set as well.
The second set played out in the opposite manner as Wozniacki rallied from a break down to clinch the set. The deciding set was quite one-sided, with the former World No. 1 dropping just one game in it to win the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Coco Gauff vs Caroline Wozniacki head-to-head
This will be the first meeting between them, so the head-to-head stands at 0-0 for now.

Coco Gauff vs Caroline Wozniacki prediction
Both players staged a comeback from a set down to win their respective third-round matches. The two cleaned up their act and committed fewer errors as the match went on. Now, they've set up a generational battle at the US Open.
Gauff and Wozniacki play rather similarly. Their forehand is the relatively weaker wing compared to their backhand. Both have excellent court coverage, though the teenager has a slightly better serve.
Wozniacki can certainly frustrate Gauff into committing more errors. Despite the latter improving her forehand, it can still break down under pressure. A veteran like the former World No. 1 certainly knows how to trigger an opponent's liability to her own benefit.
However, Gauff has been the best player on the tour over the last few weeks, winning a couple of titles and scoring some impressive wins along the way as well. This match has the potential to be a nail-biter, though the teenager is expected to prevail in the end, based on her form.
Pick: Coco Gauff to win in three sets.
