Gauff vs Paolini Prediction 17 May 2025
🎾The women's final in Rome is finally here, and Arina Sabalenka won't be featuring. However, Coco Gauff makes another appearance, set to face Jasmine Paolini. The American is undoubtedly the favorite, but Paolini will have the support of her home crowd.
Head-to-Head
Gauff and Paolini have faced each other only three times, with the Italian claiming victory in just one match. That win came just a month ago at the tournament in Stuttgart.
Head-to-head statistics Gauff - Paolini
Cori Gauff Player Overview
Gauff endured an intense battle against Zheng in the semifinals, with the encounter becoming the longest of the year, lasting 3 hours and 34 minutes. However, the American managed to gather her strength and stayed fully engaged in the match. The pace was relentless throughout, making it a test of physical endurance rather than tactics or strategy. Zheng consistently retreated from the net, trying to unsettle Gauff, but Coco still outplayed her opponent. Rest is crucial for Gauff now, as in the final she will face not only Paolini but also the entire arena.
Match Results: Cori Gauff
Jasmine Paolini Player Overview
Paolini is in excellent form, having conserved her energy in the match against Stearns. The American struggled in the second set, clearly fatigued from her previous matches, allowing Paolini to outlast her with ease. This final is crucial for Jasmine; playing in front of her home crowd, she has the chance to clinch a WTA 1000 title and boost her world ranking. However, she must handle the pressure from Gauff.

Editor's Prediction
In the first set against Stearns, Paolini struggled with numerous errors and had a terrible start overall. There's a high chance she might begin similarly against Gauff, making it difficult to recover if that happens. The first set could go to the American, but fatigue might set in, leaving Gauff unable to counter a warmed-up Italian in the second set. We're in for a long and intense match. Our bet is on the total match points over 20.5.
