Paolini Beats Gauff to Become First Home Player in 40 Years to Win the Italian Open

  • Jasmine Paolini won the Italian Open on May 17, 2025, beating Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 at the Foro Italico in Rome.
  • Paolini, who grew up watching this tournament, became the first Italian player in 40 years to win the event amid strong home crowd support.
  • Paolini, ranked fifth and last year's Billie Jean King Cup leader, made fewer unforced errors and double faults than Gauff, who was fatigued from a prior lengthy match.
  • Paolini celebrated her victory saying, "It doesn't seem real to me," while Italy's President Sergio Mattarella attended the final and fans repeatedly shouted "Vai Jasmine."
  • Paolini's win signals a tennis boom in Italy and could contribute to the country's chance to sweep Rome's singles titles, with Jannik Sinner contesting the men's final.
