Qinwen Zheng has found her rhythm at the perfect time in Rome. She had a winning streak of four matches heading into the semifinals after disposing of all her opponents so far in straight sets. Her biggest win came in the quarterfinals when she defeated World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, 6-4, 6-3. This landmark victory affords Zheng her maiden Italian Open semifinal berth and makes her only the second Chinese woman-ever after Li Na to reach the semifinals in Rome (sources: www.espn.com, www.tennis.com).
Zheng said in the post-match interview that she had previously given Sabalenka "too much respect," but now she "plays her like a normal player" (source: www.tennis.com). That change in treatment has opened the doors for a breakthrough run in the Italian capital. So far in this tournament, Zheng has averaged 2.8 aces per match, has put 52.6 percent of her first serves in, saved 60 percent of the breakpoints she has faced, and converted 48 percent of the break points available to her.
In the quarterfinals, she landed 4 aces, committed 3 double faults, returned 40 percent of Sabalenka's first serves, and converted 3 of her own breakpoints (source: www.sofascore.com). Riding a streak of four wins and eight consecutive sets, Zheng now looks to make her first WTA 1000 final.
🇺🇸 Coco Gauff – WTA Rank 3
A different dimension opened for Coco Gauff during the European clay swing. Thus, the 20-year-old American has reached her third career semifinal in the Italian Open after winning the quarterfinal match in a composed `6-4 7-6(5)` over Mirra Andreeva. Gauff's win pushed her up one spot to No. 2 in the WTA rankings (source: www.reuters.com), overtaking Iga Świątek.
Gauff has done well in today’s standings in Rome so far: 62.5% of first serves in, 2 aces per match on average, and 42% success on break points against her while managing to capitalize on 54% of her break opportunities (source: www.sofascore.com). Against Andreeva, she had 2 aces, 2 double faults, and she managed to return 50% of the first serves while converting 4 breakpoints (source: www.sofascore.com).
Coming into Rome with her form, threats stand out for Gauff in 2025, too, as the concluding act in the semifinal puts Gauff on a four-match win streak and has won eight straight sets. Gauff is known for her hard-hitting backhand and quick court coverage. She is a mixture of power and her athletic frame, with more developed game sense.
This run further adds to her clay-court achievements. She enters the semifinal full of confidence and momentum against Zheng, a player she has favorably met twice. With her form, it would be difficult to stop Gauff on the red clay of Rome.

🏆Qinwen Zheng vs Coco Gauff Match Prediction
The match between Qinwen Zheng and Coco Gauff looks to be a tremendously entertaining semifinal. Zheng, following a win over the World No. 1 and battling in Rome with unflinching zeal, has been making a name for herself. Gauff, by virtue of her consistent play and victories over Zheng in the past, brings a good measure of experience and self-belief into this encounter.
Gauff seems the favorite mainly because she has been flesh and blood in most big matches and has shown that she can perform under pressure. But her aggressiveness may well be offset by a witch doctor muscled up with recent form.
