The Rome Open Tennis Tournament has set the stage for its women's singles final, with the United States' Coco Gauff and Ukraine's Elina Svitolina emerging as the finalists after defeating their semi-final opponents.

The tournament, held at the Foro Italico Complex in Rome's clay courts, saw semi-final matches in the women's singles category. The third-seeded Coco Gauff from the U.S. faced the 26th-seeded Sorana Cirstea, who had previously knocked out the top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. Gauff won both sets, 6-4 and 6-3, advancing to her second consecutive final in Rome. Last year, she lost in the final to Italian Jasmine Paolini.

In the other semi-final, the 7th-seeded Elina Svitolina from Ukraine faced the 4th-seeded Iga Swiatek from Poland. Svitolina won the match 6-4, 2-6, and 6-2, securing her spot in the final after a gap of eight years. She previously won the tournament in 2017 and 2018.

The final between Gauff and Svitolina is set to take place on Saturday, May 16. Additionally, the men's semi-finals are scheduled to occur on the same day, featuring Jannik Sinner against Daniil Medvedev and Casper Ruud against Luciano Darderi.
