Coco Gauff scratched and clawed her way to the Rome women’s singles final.

Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina just sort of got there unnoticed – until she upset Iga Swiatek i the semifinals.

It’s a thin day – just the women’s final, and two men’s doubles semifinals, on the docket.

(Rome is six hours ahead of EDT)
