Coco Gauff Powers into Italian Open Final with Straight-Sets Win
Coco Gauff produced a commanding performance to beat Sorana Cirstea 6-4, 6-3 and seal her place in the 2026 Italian Open final. After dropping the first two games, the World No. 3 found her rhythm behind a stronger serve and relentless defence to win four straight games and clinch the opening set. She kept up the pressure in the second set, breaking again in the eighth game to close out the match in just over 75 minutes. Gauff now sets her sights on a title showdown this Saturday against either Iga Świątek or Elina Svitolina. The win boosts her confidence ahead of the French Open and marks her second consecutive final appearance in Rome.
