Raducanu faces potential Gauff clash in Rome

Emma Raducanu faces a potential third-round rematch with Coco Gauff at the Rome Open, returning after months sidelined by illness.

Raducanu, who hasn't played since Indian Wells in March due to a viral illness and a right hand injury, will begin her Rome campaign in the second round after receiving a first-round bye. The British No. 1 could face Gauff in the third round, with the American responsible for her fourth-round exit at the tournament last year.

All WTA top 20 players are participating in this final WTA 1000 event before the French Open, where Gauff is the reigning champion. Defending champion Jasmine Paolini and four-time Roland-Garros winner Iga Swiatek are also in the competitive draw. mieszalniakolorado.pl
