World No. 1 Jannik Sinner moved into the quarterfinals of the Italian Open 2026 in Rome with a composed 6-2, 6-3 win over compatriot Andrea Pellegrino at Stadio Centrale, extending his charge towards a maiden home title. The top seed controlled the match from start to finish, striking cleanly off both wings, serving efficiently without a double fault and repeatedly breaking Pellegrino’s rhythm with relentless returning pressure. Sinner converted four break points overall, never faced a break himself, and maintained control across both sets to wrap up victory in straight sets in just under 90 minutes.
World No. 3 Coco Gauff overcame a major scare to defeat Mirra Andreeva 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 and reach the semifinals of the Italian Open 2026 in Rome, requiring five match points to finally close out the contest. After dropping the opening set despite a tight battle, Gauff responded strongly to dominate the second and appeared in full control in the decider with a 5-1 lead, only for Andreeva to mount a late fightback and extend the pressure. The American eventually steadied herself in the crucial moments to seal her 15th WTA 1000 semifinal and fourth career semifinal at the tournament, setting up a last-four clash against Sorana Cirstea.
