- Fourth seed overwhelms British player in 6-1, 6-2 win
- American wins last four games to go through
During her encouraging journey to the second week of the Italian Open, Emma Raducanu showcased her quality and fighting spirit across three wins against solid top 100 opponents.
The best players in the world, however, present a completely different physical and mental challenge. This was reinforced on a windy Monday afternoon as Raducanu was outclassed by a supreme display from the fourth seed Coco Gauff. Fresh off her run to the Madrid Open final, Gauff played another brilliant match in a contest between two former US Open champions to reach the quarter-finals in Rome with an emphatic 6-1, 6-2 win.
