Head to head and Predictions

The pairing of Gauff and Pegula are seeking a first Grand Slam doubles title while Garcia and Mladenovic were crowned champions back in 2016. On paper, the Gauff and Pegula are favourites as the superior seed but a lot of factors are in play in this encounter.

Garcia and Mladenovic are miles ahead in terms of experience as a pair and on top of that, Gauff is expected to play a high-voltage women’s singles final, the evening before. Will she be able to give her best in both the finals within 24 hours? That’s a big factor which could decide the fate of the women’s doubles final.

We are predicting a win in three sets for Garcia and Mladenovic.
