Coco Gauff vs Emma Raducanu prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Italian Open 2025

Coco Gauff must reach the semifinals if she wants to regain the World No. 2 spot.

Coco Gauff gained much-needed form in Madrid after reaching the final and beating defending champion Iga Swiatek. Gauff has yet to win a title this year after the United Cup in the first week of January.

With Iga Swiatek‘s fall out of the top three, Gauff is currently in the second spot. However, having reached the semi-finals last year in Rome, the 21-year-old must repeat her heroics or better her previous outing to retain the World No. 2 position.

Match Details

• Tournament: Italian Open 2025 Women’s Singles
• Round: Fourth round
• Date: May 12
• Venue: Foro Italico, Rome, Italy
• Surface: Clay

Preview

It’s rare to see Emma Raducanu reach the fourth round of a WTA-1000 event. Aside from her historic US Open victory, the British sensation has struggled to live up to the enormous expectations that followed.

Raducanu has faced much criticism this season after multiple early exits, particularly over the wildcard entries she received, with many questioning whether they were truly justified. However, Raducanu made a comeback of sorts at Indian Wells, after advancing to the quarter-finals, defeating 8th seed Emma Navarro and 17th seed Amanda Anisimova.

In her campaign so far at the Italian Open 2025, Raducanu hasn’t encountered any big names, mainly because of Ekaterina Alexandrova’s withdrawal. She fought back against Veronika Kudermetova in the third round to confirm her round of 16 spot.

Coco Gauff’s campaign in Rome began much like it did in Madrid, with a shaky start—she dropped her opening set to Victoria Mboko. But since then, the American has looked sharp and composed, seemingly rediscovering her rhythm.

Her upcoming fourth-round clash with Emma Raducanu marks only their second duel. The first came over two years ago at the Australian Open, where Gauff secured a thrilling straight-sets victory.

Match Prediction

Coco Gauff enters this matchup as the clear favorite, backed by her strong form over the past ten days. She’s been serving with authority and finding plenty of forehand winners—two key weapons that could prove decisive against Emma Raducanu.

While Raducanu has shown glimpses of her talent in Rome, she hasn’t yet faced top-tier opposition, and some vulnerabilities in her game may be exposed under pressure. This match feels like Gauff’s to lose, especially if she maintains her current intensity and rhythm.

Result: Gauff will win in straight sets.
