Sindhu dominates against World No. 2

Sindhu maintained her dominance against Wang Zhi Yi. She defeated Wang for the third time in the 5th head to head match. Sindhu was the underdog against Wang, who was coming off a title triumph at the China Open last month.

World No. 15 Sindhu won the first game by a margin of 21-19 after a tough fight. After winning the first game, Sindhu took a lead of 12-6 in the second game as well. She maintained this lead and won the match by winning the second game by a margin of 21-15. 

Sindhu continued her perfect run in the tournament

With this win, PV Sindhu continued her perfect run in the tournament. She has not dropped a single game in her three matches so far. The two-time Olympic medallist is now just one win away from securing her sixth World Championships medal.

Sindhu to face Wardani in the quarters

Sindhu will now take on World No. 9 Putri Kusuma Wardani of Indonesia in the last eight. Sindhu has faced her four times and won twice.

The 23-year-old Wardani has been in good form this year, having won 27 matches and lost only 12 games. Sindhu, on the other hand, has lost 12 games in 2025 and won just nine. Wardani’s best performances this year have been third-place finishes at the Thailand Masters and Swiss Open.

Former champion Coco Gauff opens her US Open 2025 campaign against Ajla Tomljanović on Tuesday.

For Gauff, the build-up has been far from ideal. Since lifting her second Grand Slam crown at Roland-Garros in June, the American has endured a rocky spell, going title-less on grass and falling short in the North American hard-court swing. 

Tomljanović, on the other hand, has endured a stop-start season. Aside from semifinal runs in Austin and Rabat, plus a third-round showing in Charleston, her campaign has largely lacked momentum. Consecutive second-round exits in Monterrey and Cincinnati have done little to shift that narrative, leaving the Australian searching for a spark in New York.

Here is everything you need to know before the Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanović women's singles first round encounter in US Open 2025.

Match Details

• Match: Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanović
• Tournament: US Open 2025, Women's Singles First Round
• Date: 27 August 2025
• Time: 4:30 AM IST
• Venue: Arthur Ashe Stadium, New York, USA

Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanović: Head-to-head Stats

Gauff leads their rivalry 1-0. She won their previous meeting at the Paris Olympics 2024 in straight sets.

Coco Gauff Current Form

Gauff started the season by leading her team to the United Cup title, followed by a quarterfinal finish at the Australian Open. She failed to win a match during the Middle East swing, and then made the fourth round of the WTA 1000 tournaments at Indian Wells and Miami.

Gauff put her best foot forward during the clay swing. After back-to-back runner-up finishes at the WTA 1000 events in Madrid and Rome, she captured her second Major title at the French Open. She rallied from a set down to beat World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final.

The American's form nosedived following her triumph in Paris. She didn't win a match on grass, eventually snapping her losing skid by making the fourth round of the Canadian Open. She went one round further at the Cincinnati Open, her most recent tournament.

Ajla Tomljanović Current Form

Semifinal appearances at the WTA 250 tournaments in Austin and Rabat are Tomljanovic's best results this year. She has underperformed at the Majors, reaching the second round of the Australian Open and the French Open while making a first-round exit from Wimbledon. 

Tomljanovic's preparations for the US Open got underway at the Canadian Open, going down to Anastasija Sevastova in the first round. She then made the second rounds of the Cincinnati Open and the Monterrey Open.

Coco Gauff vs Ajla Tomljanović: Match Prediction

Coco Gauff to win in straight sets. Gauff has a 4-4 record since winning the French Open. She has compiled a 4-2 record in the lead-up to the US Open. Her overall record for the season currently stands at 35-12. She captured her maiden Major title in New York two years ago and lost in the fourth round last year as the defending champion. She has a 17-5 record at the tournament and has lost in the first round just once.

Tomljanovic isn't in great form either, having won only two of her last eight main draw matches. She's a former quarterfinalist at the US Open, reaching the last eight in 2022. She also beat Serena Williams in the final match of her career en route to the quarterfinals here.

Gauff has recently been dealing with some service woes, hitting plenty of double faults in every match. She hired a biomechanics expert a few days ago, the same one who fixed Sabalenka's serve when she was going through her yips in 2022.

Another poor service performance could prove to be detrimental for Gauff. However, Tomljanovic hasn't beaten a top 10 player since August 2022, thus giving the American some room to recover even if she isn't at her best.

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out

Carlos Alcaraz

Winning five trophies and nearly flawless performance in 48 of 54 games, Carlos Alcaraz has stunned in the 2025 season. However, on July 13 in London at Wimbledon, world number one Jannik Sinner defeated Alcaraz 4‑6, 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑4 to win his first Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam overall.

Now Alcaraz opted out of the Canadian Open in Toronto (July 27–Aug 7) to recover from minor muscle issues and focus on training for the US Open starting August 24. Alcaraz will even out their year-to-date tally and avenge his Wimbledon loss.

Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner returned to action strongly this season. After a runner-up finish to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros, he defeated the Spaniard to win his maiden Wimbledon title earlier this month. With a Grand Slam title under his belt and renewed momentum, Sinner will look to carry his form into the US hard-court season, where his previous best at the US Open was a quarterfinal finish in 2022. 

The return of Ferrara could provide the stability and familiarity Sinner needs as he aims to build on his breakthrough year. Sinner has also reappointed his former fitness coach, Umberto Ferrara, as quick as he begins preparations for the US Open.

Coco Gauff

Coco Gauff achieved a career-defining moment at the 2023 US Open, winning her maiden Grand Slam singles title. As a 19-year-old American, she delighted the home crowd by defeating Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set final (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). This victory marked her as the first American teenager since Serena Williams in 1999 to win the US Open singles crown, solidifying her status as a major force in women's tennis.

That is why, Gauff is a fan favorite with strong baseline play and mental toughness.

Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu is a former Grand Slam champion, but she hasn’t had an easy ride of things over the last few years. In 2021, Raducanu shocked the world when she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title at the US Open. Since then, the Briton has struggled to stay fit on the WTA Tour and has been widely criticized for her frequent coaching changes.

Things seemed to have clicked in 2025; however, as working alongside Mark Petchey, Raducanu has picked up several big wins.
