The showdown between Elina Svitolina and Iga Swiatek is the only women’s quarterfinal in Rome that features two seeded players.
But even at that, there’s a 10-spot gap between the two.
But the punters seem to really love Swiatek, with that shiny 2020 Roland Garros trophy still apparently a fresh memory.
So she’s the favorite against Svitolina, even though the Ukrainian is the two-time champion in Rome and has done well in the past against the players with more variety.
Will Rome results prevail?
Will the weather hold out?
