Coco Gauff Advances to Italian Open Semifinals

Posted : 14 May 2025

Coco Gauff secured her place in the semifinals of the Italian Open on Wednesday, defeating Mirra Andreeva 6-4, 7-6(5) in straight sets. The victory guarantees Gauff's rise to World No. 2, thanks to her consistent performances in Rome, where she also overcame seventh seed Andreeva on center court. The 21-year-old American expressed confidence going into the next stage of the tournament, where she could potentially face tournament favorite Aryna Sabalenka, with the top seed playing against Zheng Qinwen later that day.

 

Gauff was pleased with her performance, despite admitting that some points weren’t played at her best. "I still managed to be successful," Gauff reflected, showing her mental resilience. The American is aiming for her first title of the year, after losing to Sabalenka in the Madrid Open final, as she prepares for the upcoming French Open later this month.

 

In her quarterfinal match against Andreeva, Gauff was dominant, especially in the second set, where she responded well to each of Andreeva’s breaks of serve. The 18-year-old Indian Wells champion Andreeva, making her first appearance in the Italian Open quarterfinals, struggled to keep up with Gauff’s power and composure. After a relatively uneventful first set, Gauff took control, winning the match in a tightly contested tiebreak.

 

Looking ahead, Gauff is in strong form as she continues her pursuit of a title in Rome. Meanwhile, in the men's draw, Carlos Alcaraz is also eyeing his first Rome title, facing Jack Draper, who has impressed on clay this season. The winner of their match will face either defending champion Alexander Zverev or Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals, setting up an exciting conclusion to the tournament.
