World No. 3 Coco Gauff is on fire at the 2025 WTA Wuhan tournament, going a staggering 45-14 for the season as she trounced Laura Siegemund 6-3, 6-0 to reach the semifinals of the tournament. Her prowess reminded one of the spectacular Venus Williams' 2008 Wuhan run when she blew the quarterfinal similarly. Gauff's triumphant run—6-1, 6-0 over Uchijima, 6-3, 6-2 against Zhang—is a testament to her capability to use the serve effectively as she won 68% of her first serve points (according to WTA) while she also converted 59% of her break points, her forehand delivering an average of 25 winners per match on the hard court (Tennis Abstract). Her 4.2-shot rally dominance and 45% return points won suffocate opponents, especially on Wuhan’s quick surface, where she’s dropped just one set.
@CocoNationX raves, “Gauff’s power is unreal—#CocoInChina!” with 16K mentions. After Siegemund, Gauff told WTA Insider, “I’m dialed in for the title,” thus fueling the fan hype. The Italian could be sure of Paolini’s second serve if the American side of the net didn't destroy it with her athleticism (42% points won). However, the only way Paolini can catch Gauff is by making her run for the drop shots. In the eyes of the gamblers, setting the line for an over 7.5 aces at +130 is a +EV gem considering that for each match Gauff serves an average of 8.1 aces at Wuhan while her 78% WTA 1000 semifinal win rate is a nice -160 straight-sets value. Gauff’s mix of power and speed puts her a step ahead whereas Paolini’s sly moves require that she be very precise if she is to avoid a tough encounter.
🇮🇹 Jasmine Paolini: form and statistics
Jasmine Paolini, ranked number 7 in the world, has a phenomenal record of 40 wins against 15 losses. With a 6–1, 6–2 quarterfinal victory over Iga Swiatek—her first-ever win after six career losses—she solidifies her position as the 2025 breakout star, a Li Na comparison from 2011 going the other way. Her comeback against Yuan Yue, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, and 3-6, 6-1, 3-1 (ret.) over Tauson, among other matches in her run at Wuhan, reveal a player with a 47% break point conversion and 62% first-serve points won (Tennis Abstract). Paolini’s backhand slice, which accounts for 30% of the winners, and 75% net points won, are her weapons of disrupting her opponent’s baseline play, as evidenced in her 6-4, 6-2 win over Gauff on clay at Rome 2025. #PaoliniRising is mentioned 13K times, with @ItalianTennisX writing "Jasmine’s variety is pure art!" Her X post after the match with Swiatek "Belief changes everything" got almost 10K likes. Paolini’s 46% return points won and 3.8 rally length which she can tolerate work well with the pace in Wuhan, but Gauff’s relentless defense might wear her out. Bettors, her 47% of breaks have +115 over 2.5 service breaks, while her 65% of Top-5 upset rate on hard courts accounts for a +180 underdog value. Paolini’s brilliance in the use of the tactics could lead to another surprise, which is why this chess match of tactics should not be missed.

Wuhan center court is alive with the energy of rally after rally in this epic WTA Wuhan 2025 semifinal. Gauff’s 59% break conversion and 4.2-shot rally length battle Paolini’s 47% breaks and net quickness, but if Paolini’s second serve is shaky (42% points won), Gauff can win comfortably in straight sets—quite the opposite of X’s upset fever. A 7.2K-fan X poll (#WTAWuhan2025) gives Gauff the edge by 57%, however, Paolini’s Rome performance is a warning. So, first of all, we should expect tie breaks from this match, and the total will most likely be 21.5+ games.
