Coco Gauff vs Belinda Bencic preview
Fourth seed Coco Gauff will face off against 12th seed Belinda Bencic in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Canadian Open on Tuesday.
Gauff reached the quarterfinals with a 6-3, 6-1 win over qualifier Alina Korneeva, dropping just four games, the fewest in any of her three matches this week. It’s her seventh WTA quarterfinal of the season and 25th at the WTA 1000 level before turning 23, moving her past Martina Hingis’s pace from the 1990s.
Bencic reached the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Alex Eala, snapping the Filipina’s seven-match winning streak in a dominant 73-minute performance. It’s her fourth Canadian Open quarterfinal, a tournament she’s previously won back in 2015 with wins over Serena Williams and Simona Halep along the way.

Coco Gauff vs Belinda Bencic prediction
Gauff’s dominance in this rivalry has been building steadily, with six wins in eight meetings, including a win over Bencic at Wimbledon just weeks ago. Her form through this tournament backs that up too, having yet to drop a set while dropping just four games in her most recent match.
Bencic, though, comes in fresh off arguably her most complete performance of the week, a 73-minute demolition of a red-hot Eala that snapped a seven-match winning streak. She’s also previously won this exact title, giving her real pedigree at this event even against an opponent who’s generally gotten the better of her.
Given Gauff’s recent head-to-head edge and her spotless run through the draw so far, she looks like the favorite here, even accounting for how sharp Bencic has looked in her own matches.
Pick: Gauff to win in three sets.
