The stats reflect the time that Jodie Burrage has spent on the grass in what has been a very busy grass court season. But she will be up against the experience and athleticism of Coco Gauff. The American picked up one win in Berlin before losing in the next round but found her footing easily enough in her opener for the loss of just four games.

Burrage made her maiden WTA final in Nottingham but has been playing the entire grass court season. Even allowing for opening exits at Surbiton and Birmingham, that is a lot of court time ahead of Wimbledon. She had to come back from a set behind to take out Lauren Davis, and it just feels as though Gauff is just a little too fresh and strong.

Prediction: Gauff in straight sets.
