Former U.S. Open champion Coco Gauff fought back from a set down to beat Spain's Paula Badosa 4-6 6-4 6-2 at the China Open in Beijing on Saturday and set up a final with Czech Karolina Muchova. Double faults and a weaker second serve troubled world number six Gauff early in the match as Badosa won 75% of her second return points in the set.

The 20-year-old Coco Gauff is the youngest player to reach the women's singles final at the China Open since Caroline Wozniacki in 2010

In the past two years, Gauff and Badosa are 1-1 against each other. Gauff won their previous meeting on May 13, 2024, 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. Coco Gauff is our predicted winner in this match.
