Elina Svitolina Powers Past Coco Gauff in Italian Open Final

Svitolina ended Gauff’s title bid after nearly three hours and won her first WTA 1000 crown since 2018.

  • On Saturday, Elina Svitolina claimed her third Italian Open title by defeating Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 in Rome, marking her first WTA 1000 title since 2018.
  • Gauff lost in the Rome final for the second straight year, having previously fallen to Jasmine Paolini here before winning the French Open last year.
  • Home favorite Jannik Sinner secured a spot in Sunday's final after finishing off Daniil Medvedev in 15 minutes on Saturday, moving one victory away from a Masters 1000 title.
  • Facing Casper Ruud, who routed Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-1 on Friday, Sinner seeks to become the first Italian man to win the trophy since Adriano Panatta in 1976.
  • With a 28-match winning streak, Sinner could sweep all three clay-court Masters titles before the French Open, completing a historic season ahead of the Grand Slam.
