Flushing Meadows is still a long way from Foro Italico.
Nevertheless, when the U.S. opens its championship Coco Goff and Emma Raducanu He finished the quarter-finals position on Red Clay in Rome.
Today, the fourth seed gopher sent Magda Linnet The fourth time reached 16 rounds with 7-5 and 6-3.
The revival of Raducanu rebounded.
Rado Kanu roared in 12 of the last 13 games won 5-7, 6-0, 6-1 Veronika Kudermetova Arrived at her first Rome 16 rounds.
The 21-year-old Gauff is the youngest woman to arrive in Rome four times since the first 1st. Caroline Wozniacki In 2011.
Despite the sloppy piece (Gauff) hit six doubles without ACE, the WTA Finals champion found her range and rhythm as the game avenged the Miami Open home fans 6-4, 6-4 to Lineette at the Miami Open in March.
Revenge failed to bring Goff along the historical path of the Eternal City. The baseline of Delray Beach is bidding to be the youngest woman to enter the Madrid and Rome finals in the same season and the first American to win Rome since Serena Williams in 2016.
After a tough start win, Gauff navigated her fifth match point in the stress test (she saved a breakout point) to close in an hour and 41 minutes. Gauff won the B-level for Mother’s Day victory.
“It could be AB; I think I’m playing the right way throughout the game,” Goff told Tennis Channel Host Prakash Amritraj after. “I think I could have been getting deeper in the first group.
“Maybe it was A, because I lost to her in Miami, so it was great to take revenge.
“I was just trying to focus on my breathing and trying to slow down my breathing [under pressure] Just try to forget it. Because you can’t change the past. It was absolutely frustrating to lose all these match points in the end, but would love to finish it on my serve. ”

When Gauff and Raducanu first met on Red Clay, it opened up the prospect of full-time creativity. This will be their second overall meeting.
In a superb and sometimes sporadic shooting match, Goff beat Ladanu 6-3, 7-6 (4) at the Australian Open, which many consider to be a preview of the big fights in the future.
Two-time Roman semi-finals and former French Open finalist Gauff is more experienced on clay than Raducanu.
However, No. 49 Lacanu is now playing the best clay player tennis ball in her life.
“I will see some [Gauff matches]I think my team will watch. “Rakanu told Prakash Amritraj of Tennis Channel. “She is such a great opponent, you know you have to play well and you can execute your own game very well.
“I don’t think I’m willing to learn from my opponent anymore. [instead] Focus on yourself. ”
Tennis Channel Commentator and Former ATP Pro Mark Petchey Not listed as the official coach of Raducanu, but he played a major role in the rebound. Since Miami began, Petchey has previously served as Andy Murray’s coach, Andy Murray, who has been coaching in Raducanu’s box as Unofficla and trained with her before this clay movement began.
Working with Petchey and Jane O’Donoghue, a revived Raducanu scored 8-2 in her final three games and reached the Miami Open quarterfinals and returned to the top 50 for the first time in three years.
Importantly, Raducanu, who was intimidated by stalkers during the Middle East swing, looks happier in court today. This shows that she is fighting point by point rather than letting the grim environment stand out like she stands out with a 5-4 score today, suppressing her fighting spirit.
Of course, Raducanu needs not only good resonance, but also a sound game plan for Gritty Gauff.
WTA final champion Gauff said she expects to have a “great game” with Raducanu.
“She’s obviously a great player,” Goff told Tennis Channel Host Prakash Amritraj. “The last time we played it was a great game.
“I think her game is obviously a great clay player, obviously a great player, especially on clay. It’s going to be a great game. Yes, I’m looking forward to it and hope I can win.”
Both women are very fast on the court, both agile athletes who can create magic on the move and both can bring various gatherings in.
Goff often exhibits altitude tops rotation along the line, both of which move the opponent back behind the baseline and creates such a deadly backhand communication for her.
Like Gauff, Raducanu’s backhand is her more reliable wing, but the British’s forehand grip is not as extreme as Gauff’s western grip, so she is usually more dangerous on low balls.
Rakanu changed the pace and height of her shot, deforming the continuous kudermetova.
Can Raducanu shoot backhand to get Gauff to dig out a low ball with her sometimes flaky forehand? How will Goff deal with Raducanu’s favorite serving method – the width of the Deuce aspect she used to open the first strike?
Who will win the positioning of the court battle? If Gauff stepped on the backhand, how would Raducanu respond when she did remove Madrid’s Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek?
These issues are the issues to consider when the U.S. Open champion clashes on the red clay in Rome.
It’s a wonderful day for the U.S. Open Champions.
