Coco Gauff had more struggles with her serve but overcame seven double faults to beat Jasmine Paolini 6-4, 6-3 on Saturday and reach the Wuhan Open final. Gauff will face Jessica Pegula in Sunday's title match after her fellow American came from behind to oust top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2). The third-ranked Gauff edged Paolini by winning the battle of converted breaks 7-5 as both top-10 players struggled with their service games.

Actually, it turns out Gauff's 2023 championship at the U.S. Open marked the first time the women's singles winner in New York was given a silver cup significantly larger than the one that is used in the postmatch ceremony. Her replica hardware is 19 1/2 inches tall, the same as both the original and keepsake men's trophies - and 7 1/2 inches bigger than the original women's trophy.

Coco Gauff, the second seed, was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon by Dayana Yastremska, unable to match her opponent's power in fierce rallies.

Jasmine Paolini seized the home crowd's support to defeat Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2, marking the first Italian Open win for a home player in 40 years.

Emma Raducanu's impressive Italian Open run ended in the last 16 as world number three Coco Gauff dominated the match, proving a challenging opponent.
