Gauff Ends Cirstea’s Dream Rome Run
Coco Gauff secured her place in the Rome final after defeating the in-form Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 6-3. She trailed by a break early in the opening set but quickly took control and closed out the match comfortably.
The American will be relieved with the straightforward victory after surviving three consecutive comeback three-set battles earlier in the week against Solana Sierra, Iva Jovic, and Mirra Andreeva.
With this run, Gauff became the youngest American to reach back-to-back finals in Rome since Venus Williams achieved the feat in 1998 and 1999.
The 22-year-old continues to prove herself on the biggest stages in tennis. Ten of her last 11 finals have come at WTA 1000 level or higher, underlining her consistency in major events.
Overall, Gauff owns an 11-4 record in tour-level finals, with all four defeats coming against top-five opponents. Her record in WTA 1000 finals stands at 3-3, although she has lost three of her last four at this level.

Svitolina Stuns Swiatek To Reach Rome Final
Elina Svitolina defeated three-time Rome champion Iga Swiatek 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to reach the final in Rome. She saved 11 of the 16 break points she faced, including all five in the deciding set, to finish the match strongly.
Earlier in the tournament, Svitolina also came from a set down to defeat world No. 2 Elena Rybakina. This marks the first time since the 2019 WTA Finals that she has beaten back-to-back top-five players in the same event.
This is Svitolina’s third final appearance in Rome. She previously lifted the title in both 2017 and 2018 after defeating Simona Halep in the final on each occasion, and she will look to draw confidence from those memories again this week.
The Ukrainian has been playing some of the best tennis of her career in 2026. She has now reached at least the semifinals in six of her nine tournaments this season, including this week in Rome. However, she converted only two of those runs into finals, winning the title in Auckland and finishing runner-up to Jessica Pegula in Dubai.
Svitolina owns a perfect 7-0 record in tour-level clay finals and also holds a strong 4-1 record in WTA 1000 finals. Her only defeat at this level came against Pegula in Dubai earlier this season.
