Tennis News You Probably Missed Yesterday: Coco Gauff to Face Paula Badosa

The last time Coco Gauff won the US Open, she’d just won Cincinnati. Sound familiar? In 2023, the American arrived in New York as the Cincinnati champion — and left with her first Grand Slam title. In 2026, she’s done it again: Cincinnati champion, heading into Flushing Meadows. Kalshi traders clearly see the pattern, giving her a 19% chance of the title, second only to Sabalenka. Tonight she faces Paula Badosa for a place in the third round. Destiny, or just good form?
