Swiatek, Gauff, Osaka Ease Into Italian Open Last 32 in Rome

Posted : 10 May 2024

In the ongoing Italian Open in Rome, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Naomi Osaka all cruised comfortably into the last 32 of the tournament. Swiatek, Poland's top-ranked player and a two-time Rome title holder, displayed her dominance by swiftly defeating American Bernarda Pera with a convincing 6-0, 6-2 victory in just one hour and 17 minutes.

 

Gauff, representing the United States, also showcased her prowess on the court, securing a solid 6-3, 6-3 win against Poland's Magdalena Frech within one hour and 28 minutes of play.

 

Meanwhile, Japan's Osaka demonstrated her clay court skills by securing a comprehensive 6-3, 6-2 victory over Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine, who holds the 20th position in the world rankings. This victory marked a significant milestone for Osaka as it was her first career win against a top 20 player on clay.

 

Despite the straightforward win, Osaka acknowledged the learning curve she faces on this surface, likening herself to a "baby giraffe" still finding her footing. Looking ahead, Osaka prepares to take on world number 11 Daria Kasatkina in the third round, acknowledging the challenge ahead and expressing her desire to continue learning and improving with each match.
