Coco Gauff, currently ranked world No. 2, returns to the WTA Tour at the 2025 Montreal (Canada Open) after a surprising first-round exit at Wimbledon to Dayana Yastremska[1][4]. Despite the Wimbledon disappointment, Gauff remains in the spotlight, having won her first Roland Garros (French Open) title in June 2025[1] and compiling a solid 2025 season record so far (31-10 in singles, with one title)[4].

Her draw in Montreal may see her face Danielle Collins in the opening rounds; Collins is a dangerous opponent, and their matchup is drawing attention across tennis media and live streaming forums[1][3]. If Gauff progresses, notable potential opponents could include Jasmine Paolini, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Diana Shnaider. Shnaider, in particular, defeated Gauff in Montreal last year, making a fourth-round rematch especially compelling[1].

In recent rankings by UTR (Universal Tennis Rating), Gauff is listed as No. 4 with a UTR of 12.96 in May 2025, reflecting her consistent performance on tour and upward momentum following her Madrid final and Roland Garros championship[2]. Despite these achievements, Gauff was notably omitted from Team USA’s recent selection for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in September 2025; instead, Jessica Pegula and Madison Keys will lead the American squad in Shenzhen, China[5].

Gauff herself has reflected candidly on her Wimbledon loss, expressing disappointment but also a determination to reset and refocus ahead of the US Open, noting the difficulty of quickly transitioning surfaces and the importance of learning from tough matches[7]. Her ranking has remained stable, with season highs of No. 2 and no drop below No. 4 throughout 2025[6]. To date, she has career earnings exceeding $27 million, with 10 singles and 9 doubles titles[4].
