Coco Gauff finally got her revenge on Jasmine Paolini on Saturday and in the process, punched a ticket to the Wuhan Open final.
The American had dropped all three of her 2025 encounters to the two-time major finalist, including a pair at the WTA 1000 level: the Rome final and Cincinnati quarterfinals. But on Saturday, Gauff flipped the script with a 6-4, 6-3 victory to level their overall head-to-head series.
“I’m really happy with how I played today. It was tough, especially on the serve. But I did what I needed to do to get through,” she said during her on-court interview.
