Fourth seed overwhelms British player in 6-1, 6-2 winAmerican wins last four games to go through
During her encouraging journey to the second week of the Italian Open, Emma Raducanu demonstrated her quality and fighting spirit across three wins against solid top 100 opponents.
The best players in the world, however, present a completely different challenge. This was reinforced on a difficult Monday afternoon as Raducanu was outclassed by a supreme performance from the fourth seed Coco Gauff. Fresh off her run to the final of the Madrid Open, 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.
