Coco Gauff vs. Mirra Andreeva: Rome Quarterfinal Preview, Prediction & How to Watch

Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva are set to clash in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Italian Open, promising a thrilling encounter between two of the WTA’s brightest young stars. Gauff, the 21-year-old American and world No. 3, has been in impressive form on clay, recently reaching the final in Madrid and now aiming for her third semifinal in Rome. Her consistent performance and experience on the surface make her a formidable opponent.

Andreeva, the 18-year-old Russian prodigy ranked No. 7, has had a breakout season with titles in Dubai and Indian Wells. Despite a 0-3 head-to-head record against Gauff, including a straight-sets loss in Madrid, Andreeva’s aggressive baseline play and recent form suggest she could challenge Gauff’s dominance.

Prediction: Gauff’s superior experience and current momentum give her the edge. However, Andreeva’s rapid improvement could make this a closer contest than previous meetings. Expect Gauff to advance in straight sets, but with tighter scores.

Where to Watch: The match is scheduled for May 14 at 7:00 AM ET (12:00 PM WAT) on Stadio Centrale. Fans in Nigeria can watch the live broadcast via DAZN or New World TV.
