Coco Gauff slightly preferred to play Aryna Sabalenka in the Rome Open semifinal simply because she felt confident and wanted to get revenge over the world No. 1 but then the Belarusian lost her quarterfinal match.

The women's singles quarterfinals are locked in at the Italian Open 2025. The final eight women will battle it out over two days (May 13-14) for a spot in the semifinals.

Coco Gauff continued her mastery over Russian teen Mirra Andreeva and returned to the Italian Open semifinals with a 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory on Wednesday in Rome.
