Kerber has been in excellent form, winning her last 8 consecutive matches, all on grass,
and the WTA Bad Homburg tournament. She is a Wimbledon champion (2018) and finalist (2016),
semifinalist (2012), and quarterfinalist (2014). She is 33 years old.
Cori "Coco" Gauff is the newest American tennis sensation. She is 17 years old.
2021 Kerber (27 singles matches): 17/10: Clay 4/4, Hard 4/5, Grass 9/1 Rank 28
2021 Gauff (42 singles matches): Clay 16/4, Hard 11/6, Grass 4/1 Rank 23
The two have never met. Gauff is also playing tomorrow in doubles with McNally.
Kerber almost never plays doubles.
Given the experience and form of Kerber, and the odds, she is worth a bet.
I also like the fact that the young Gauff can continue to play in doubles if she loses.
