Iga Swiatek And Coco Gauff Survive Fourth Round Obstacles In Rome
Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff are into the quarter-finals in Rome after surviving fourth round tests against Angelique Kerber and Paula Badosa respectively.
Starting with Swiatek, the Pole secured a 7-5 6-3 victory over former Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber.
The world number one is aiming to win her third Rome title and started the match with aggressive serving.
After securing the break in the eighth game, Swiatek was broken back in the following game as Kerber increased the intensity on return.
However a hard-fought break of serve in the twelfth game sealed the set for Swiatek who broke on her third set point.
The second set didn’t start as well for Swiatek who seemingly spent a lot of energy on winning the first set as she lacked key moments of concentration with Kerber breaking in the opening game.
As expected though Swiatek bounced back well claiming two breaks of serve before serving out the match to love.
Next up for Swiatek is Madison Keys in a rematch from their semi-final contest in Madrid last week which the Pole won.
In the other big contest of the day Coco Gauff prevented Paula Badosa from reaching a second consecutive Rome quarter-final as the American claimed a 5-7 6-4 6-1 victory.
The contest lasted almost two and a half hours as Gauff was forced to work hard against a rejuvenated Badosa.
However the former Roland Garros finalist powered through the third set to set up a meeting with seventh seed Qinwen Zheng.
The Australian Open finalist defeated Naomi Osaka in straight sets as both Gauff and Swiatek’s quarter-final matches will take place on Tuesday.
