Emma Raducanu's Italian Open Run Ends in Defeat to Coco Gauff in Last 16

Posted : 13 May 2025

Emma Raducanu’s promising run at the Italian Open came to a halt in the last 16, where she was defeated 6-1, 6-2 by world number three Coco Gauff. Raducanu, currently ranked 49th, had impressed by reaching the fourth round with three consecutive wins on clay, a first in her career.

 

However, Gauff proved too strong, and Raducanu’s hopes of pulling off an upset quickly faded in the face of her opponent’s superior performance.

 

Gauff, who like Raducanu won her sole major title at the US Open, showed why she’s a serious contender on clay as well. The 21-year-old, who reached the French Open final three years ago, returned with precision and maintained her composure in critical service games.

 

Reflecting on her performance, Gauff acknowledged Raducanu’s resilience and praised her own improvement, especially after a strong showing in Madrid last week. "My forehand was a big weapon today," Gauff said, noting how it set up many of her points.

 

Despite the loss, Raducanu focused on the positives and remained optimistic about her progress. The British number two acknowledged the challenge of facing such a high-level opponent and emphasized her commitment to improving each day. "I’m trying to be the best version of myself," she said, adding that while she didn’t win the match, she would continue to focus on growth and find ways to improve moving forward.
