In the second set, Gauff built a 5-1 lead on the back of a strong serving performance. Osaka made a fist of it and saved four match points to hold to 5-2. She reeled off back-to-back games to draw within a game of the 18-year-old. But Gauff finally served it out at 6-4 to clinch the win.

Gauff vs Badosa Betting Verdict
The tennis betting markets are heavily skewed toward the American teenager. Not only is she projected to win this quarterfinal but she’s also the second-best bet after tournament favorite Ons Jabeur to win.
BetUS odds tip Gauff at -180 to win this quarterfinal and advance into the final four. She’s also priced as the +400 bet to win the title.
Badosa, priced at +160 to win, can’t be overlooked in the betting. She’s a Top 10 player for a reason.
That said, her form has been all over the shop recently and that makes her a risky bet. This is her first quarterfinal appearance since reaching the semis of Stuttgart in April.
