Cori Gauff has a very tricky first round in the upcoming WTA 1000 in Madrid. The American sensation will be opposed to former world number 1 Karolina Pliskova. However, Coco can be happy for the fact that she has already gone 1 place up in the so-called live rankings to achieve a new theoretical career-high.
In fact, Donna Vekic will not play the Madrid Open since she has been recovering from knee surgery. The Croatian beauty lost 120 points. This allowed Coco to go one place up and be the new world number 34.
Obviously, Coco Gauff still needs to have a good in Madrid to confirm her high rank. This is her projected path.
