Coco Gauff Advances to Italian Open 2025 Semi-Finals by Ousting Mirra Andreeva

Coco Gauff just reminded the world why she’s a Grand Slam champion—and a force no one wants to face in May. Under the Roman sun, Gauff powered past teenage prodigy Mirra Andreeva in a high-octane quarter-final that mixed raw talent with big-match nerve. The result? Gauff marches into the Italian Open 2025 semi-finals with momentum—and that signature swagger.

It wasn’t a cakewalk. Andreeva, still only 17, showed glimpses of the fearless shot-making that’s made her the WTA’s next big thing. But when it mattered most, Gauff’s experience, composure, and all-court coverage stole the show. Big serve? Check. Forehand fire? Check. That icy-cool stare down the baseline? Double check.

For Gauff, this is more than just another semi-final run—it’s a timely reminder that she’s more than just hype. After a few patchy performances earlier in the season, the American star is finding her rhythm on clay at exactly the right time. With the French Open looming, her timing couldn’t be better.

And let’s not ignore the symbolism here: a 20-year-old Gauff taking out a teenage phenom is a not-so-subtle message that the youth revolution still runs through her first.

Next stop: the semis, where Gauff will look to go one step closer to claiming her first Rome title. If she keeps playing like this, no one’s stopping her—not even the Eternal City’s ghosts of champions past.
