Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Iga Swiatek Preview

Elisabetta Cocciaretto capitalized on her wildcard entry, defeating Elina Avanesyan to match her previous best Italian Open results.

Iga Swiatek's search for a title has now completed 11 months after suffering defeats to Jelena Ostapenko in Stuttgart and Coco Gauff in Madrid.

Swiatek enters Rome as the overwhelming favorite in this match, boasting a 20-1 record in the last four editions. Cocciaretto has little to no chance of defeating the Pole.

Elisabetta Cocciaretto Form

Cocciaretto secured her third career victory at the Italian Open with a hard-fought win over world No. 38 Elina Avanesyan, needing three sets to beat the Armenian.

Her last top-50 win prior to this week came in Birmingham last season, and she will need an even greater effort to trouble Swiatek.

She has struggled over the past year, managing just one tournament run beyond the second round since last summer.

The Italian lost to Anastasia Potapova in 2023 and Caroline Garcia in 2024 in her previous bids to reach the third round in Rome.

She once defeated world No. 10 Petra Kvitova, 6-3, 6-4, at 2023 Roland-Garros for her one and only top-10 win.

Rome career record: 20-1 in last four editions

Iga Swiatek Form

Swiatek reached the quarterfinal in Stuttgart and the semifinal in Madrid but suffered bitter losses to Jelena Ostapenko and Coco Gauff, respectively.

She battled past Madison Keys, Diana Shnaider, and Alexandra Eala in three sets in Madrid but comprehensively lost to Coco Gauff, 6-1, 6-1.

It has been nearly a year since the world No. 2 last reached a final (2024 Roland-Garros), despite entering the quarterfinal of all seven tournaments in 2025.

Notwithstanding recent struggles, Swiatek remains a fearful player on clay and has won Rome three times in the past four years.

Verdict

Elisabetta Cocciaretto v Iga Swiatek

Cocciaretto lacks the firepower to trouble Swiatek, who has not lost a clay-court match to an outside top-50 player since her 2020 Rome loss to Arantxa Rus. The four-time Roland-Garros champion should comfortably advance.

Iga Swiatek 2-0
