Doubles Pair Coco Gauff and Alex Eala Sail into the Quarter-Finals of the Italian Open

In a display of remarkable synergy and skill, Coco Gauff and Alex Eala have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2025 Italian Open women’s doubles. The dynamic duo secured a straight-sets victory over Italy’s Tyra Caterina Grant and Lisa Pigato, with a scoreline of 6–2, 6–3, on Tuesday night in Rome.

Their partnership, initiated by Eala reaching out to Gauff via Instagram, has quickly blossomed into a formidable team on the court. This win marks their second consecutive straight-sets triumph, following their opening-round victory against Alexandra Panova and Fanny Stollar.

Next, Gauff and Eala face their most challenging opponents yet: the third-seeded Italian pair of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini. Errani and Paolini, the defending champions, have a strong track record, including a victory over Gauff and her former partner Erin Routliffe in last year’s final.

The upcoming quarter-final match is set for Wednesday night in Rome. With Gauff’s experience and Eala’s rising prowess, the duo aims to overcome the home favorites and continue their impressive run in the tournament.
