Gauff Looks to Extend Dominance Over Andreeva in Quarterfinal Clash
Fourth seed Coco Gauff and seventh seed Mirra Andreeva have both stormed into the quarterfinals of the Italian Open, setting up a high-stakes showdown for a place in the semis. Gauff, after receiving a first-round bye, was tested early by qualifier Victoria Mboko but came through in three sets. From there, she hit her stride, dispatching Magda Linette and Emma Raducanu with clinical ease to underline her title credentials.
Andreeva, too, made a strong statement in her Rome run. Following her first-round bye, she rolled past qualifier Emiliana Arango and 30th seed Linda Noskova without dropping a set. But she faced a challenge against 22nd seed Clara Tauson, where she rallied from a set down to pull off a gutsy comeback.
Andreeva began 2025 with a semifinal in Brisbane before early exits in Melbourne and Qatar. She quickly rebounded, winning titles in Dubai and Indian Wells with signature wins over Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Elina Svitolina. After quiet runs in Miami and Stuttgart, she made the Madrid quarterfinals but was stopped by Gauff in straight sets. Her numbers back up her rise: 119 aces, 75.5% service games won, 69.2% first-serve points won, and a standout 45.7% return points won.
Gauff started with a quarterfinal in Melbourne, then hit a lull until Stuttgart, where she again made the last eight. In Madrid, she hit top gear, reaching the final with wins over Swiatek and Andreeva before falling to Sabalenka. With a 19-7 record, her lone title came at the United Cup, where she went undefeated for Team USA. She’s delivered 93 aces, won 72.6% of first-serve points, and converted an outstanding 53.2% of break points.
Coco Gauff leads the head-to-head against Mirra Andreeva 3-0, with all three wins coming in straight sets. The one-sided rivalry began at the 2023 French Open, followed by another routine win at the US Open later that year. Their most recent clash came in Madrid this season with the same story and same result.
Now, as they prepare to meet for the fourth time and second in 2025, the stakes are higher. Andreeva is hungry for a breakthrough, while Gauff will look to keep her perfect record intact and extend her dominance.

Gauff’s consistency and experience likely give her the edge, though Andreeva’s strong return game could make it competitive. Moreover, Gauff has been playing exceptionally and her recent straight sets win over Andreeva just last month will give her more confidence.
