Two of the best American tennis players will meet at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the second round of the US Open 2021,teenage sensation Cori “Coco” Gauff and 2017 champion, Sloane Stephens. Here, check out everything there’s to know about this tennismatch such as the preview, information, predictions, odds and how to watch it in the US.
Gauff has been one of the most marketed young players of the WTA Tour. It didn’t hurt that her debut in Wimbledon was as a 15-year old against Venus Williams. Since then, Gauff has consistently appeared in the biggest tournament, even winning 2 WTA Titles and being the youngest player ranked in the top 100 (No. 23).
On the other hand, 2017 champion Sloane Stephens is a well known player, who was first called one of the successors of Serena Williams. While she has been struggling this season, her record is 3-3 in hard courts, she’s still one of the quickest players in the tour. Also, she just won Madison Keys in the 2017 final rematch, so that certainly will help her confidence against the teen prodigy.
