Gauff reached a career-high world number 30 after her run to the semi-finals of the Italian Open in Rome last week where she was eliminated by eventual winner Iga Swiatek of Poland.
Wang has hit form this week after a poor start to 2021, and is looking for her third WTA title, and first outside China, since late 2018.
