Coco Gauff is one of the standout names of this clay court swing, although she hasn't claimed any titles yet this year. Her level has noticeably improved on clay after a somewhat inconsistent start on hardcourts. She reached the final in Madrid and is now in the semifinals of WTA Rome, awaiting Qinwen Zheng or Aryna Sabalenka. When asked about her preferences in the mixed zone, she said, "To be honest, I don't have a preference. Both are tough opponents. It's going to be a difficult match regardless of who I face. Of course, I'd like to play against Aryna, because I already faced her in Madrid, just for revenge. Qinwen is clearly a tough rival as well. I have no preference. It's going to be a tough and difficult match in any case."
