Solana Sierra vs. Coco Gauff Prediction, Odds for Wimbledon Second Round
Betting odds, pick and prediction for the Solana Sierra vs. Coco Gauff match in the second round at Wimbledon. Peter Dewey|
Coco Gauff had a rough showing at Wimbledon in 2025, losing in the first round just a few weeks after she won the French Open.
Now, the American star is looking to advance to the third round in the 2026 tournament, and she’s heavily favored against Solana Sierra. Gauff had an easy win in the first round at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, winning in straight sets, and she’s already 2-0 against Sierra this year.
Sierra made the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2025, but she doesn’t have a ton of success at a Grand Slam to fall back on. The 22-year-old needed three sets to get past Anna Bondar in her opening match on Monday.
Let’s examine the odds, each player’s history at Wimbledon and my prediction for this match on Wednesday.

Solana Sierra vs. Coco Gauff History and Wimbledon Performance
Solana Sierra
Sierra had an impressive showing at Wimbledon in 2025, reaching the fourth round, but she has only advanced past the first round at a Grand Slam one other time – the 2026 French Open.
Sierra made the third round in that tournament. She has a tough matchup with Gauff, who has already beaten her twice in 2026.
Coco Gauff
Gauff hasn’t been super successful at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, making a few runs to the fourth round but never going any further. After a first-round exit last year, she dominated this year’s first-round match, beating Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 6-1.
The two-time Grand Slam winner has lost just one set in two meetings with Sierra in her career.
Solana Sierra vs. Coco Gauff Prediction and Pick
Gauff is 2-0 against Sierra in her career, and even after Sierra’s impressive Wimbledon showing in 2025, I’m going to take the American to win this match pretty comfortably.
Oddsmakers have set the games spread in this match at 5.5, a number that Gauff has easily covered in their first two meetings.
Even though she dropped a set against Sierra in their second meeting at the Italian Open this year, Gauff rallied to win 6-0, 6-4 in the final two sets. Plus, she won their first meeting (also in 2026) at the United Cup 6-1, 6-1.
Gauff had a really disappointing showing at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club after winning the French Open in 2025, but she only dropped three games in her first-round win.
I’m buying her to advance to the third round at Wimbledon for the fifth time in her career.
Pick: Gauff -5.5 Games (-120 at DraftKings)

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
