World No. 2 is primed to make a deep run at the French Open and potentially collect her second career slam title

Coco Gauff and Zheng Qinwen were locked in a tightly contested battle that had seen the American edge out the first set in a tiebreak and Zheng claw back the second 6-4. However, it was in the early stages of the third set that the match had its most memorable moment- not through a blazing winner or a marathon rally, but through unfiltered humor.

Coco Gauff expects two things heading into the Rome Open final and that's Jasmine Paolini delivering great tennis but also receiving a very strong support from the local crowd. On Thursday, top-ranked Italian female tennis player Paolini overcame Peyton Stearns 7-5 6-1 to become the first local woman to reach a Rome final since Sara Errani in 2014.
