Andy Roddick was full of praise for Jasmine Paolini's performance in the Rome Open final as the 2003 US Open champion thought the Italian had great tactics and an outstanding execution. On Saturday, the 29-year-old became the first Italian female tennis player since 1985 to win Rome after ousting Coco Gauff in the final 6-4 6-2.

Coco Gauff's wait for her first WTA 1000 title continues, as the American fell short in the Italian Open 2025 final, losing in straight sets to Italy's Jasmine Paolini.

Jasmine Paolini beat Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 in the Italian Open women’s singles final on Saturday to become the first Italian player to win the tournament in 40 years, before repeating the feat in the doubles final on Sunday.
