The rivals played twice on tour in 2022 and exchanged victories. Both played poorly at the last tournament in Guadalajara and are generally in comparable form for the start of the WTA Finals. That said, Caroline has experience playing in such a tournament. However, I think Coco will be the one, who will win this match.
In two of their three head-to-head matches, the players have played at least 21 games. Moreover, there have been tie-breaks in the last four matches involving Caroline. It is unlikely that the rivals will quickly decide the winner today.
Coco Gauff had a huge success at the age of 18. She has risen to 4th place in the WTA rankings and has justifiably won a trip to her debut WTA Finals.
Interestingly, Coco has not won a single title all year. However, at the same time, she had 38 wins on tour, suffering 19 defeats. The most resounding success for Gauff was reaching the final of Roland Garros, where she lost to Iga Swiatek (1-6, 3-6). At her last tournament in Guadalajara, she was defeated in the quarterfinals by Victoria Azarenka (6-7, 6-4, 3-6).
Gauff has played exactly two sets in 10 of his last 12 matches.
Caroline Garcia shone in 2017 when she not only made it to the WTA Finals but managed to reach the semi-finals. She followed a prolonged career slump and few could accurately predict that she would be able to return to her former level in 2022. However, Caroline has proved that it is too soon to write her off.
Throughout the season, Garcia played 60 matches on tour and won 41. Caroline has won three titles in Bad Homburg, Warsaw and Cincinnati. Her last tournament in Guadalajara turned out badly for her with a defeat at the hands of Sloane Stephens (6-7, 5-7) in the 1/8 finals. It should be noted that just before the start of the final tournament, she parted ways with her coach Bertrand Perret.
Garcia has won four of her five previous matches against top-10 opponents.
