Based on the almost, on the yes but no, on the hope of making that definitive leap. Cori Gauff is being a major player on the clay court tour, but she will arrive at Roland Garros without having been able to win a title, after losing in two finals. Her defeat against Jasmine Paolini at the WTA 1000 Rome 2025 leaves an even more bitter taste in her, as she described in the press conference.

Losing finals is usually a painful and necessary toll for most before achieving glory. Cori Gauff knows this well, as before conquering her, up to now, only Grand Slam title, she had to lose a final and other important matches that were very difficult to accept. In this tour, the playing sensations transmitted by the American are more than noticeable, but having lost two finals, without being able to assert her favoritism in the WTA 1000 Rome 2025 one against Jasmine Paolini, leaves a bitter taste in the young American.

"I am proud of my performance in both tournaments, but also disappointed that I couldn't showcase my best level in the finals. Today, Jasmine played an excellent tennis and forced me to play in a way that I didn't feel comfortable in. The truth is she deserved to win; she is a very tough opponent on clay," she said before analyzing herself, describing what she believes she could have done in a final where she was the favorite.

With Roland Garros 2025 so close, displaying a solid level of play like Cori Gauff has shown on this tour is important, but lost finals can be a source of insecurity. "Against certain opponents, I know I have to be a little more aggressive than usual and take risks that maybe I'm not completely comfortable with. That's why I made more double faults and drive errors because I don't want to concede the initiative," she affirmed.

"What has happened to me on this tour is a source of confidence and motivation to take that final step. They say the third time's the charm; hopefully, it will be in Paris, but to achieve that, I know I have many things to work on this week. My feeling is that I have made it to two significant tournament finals without displaying my best version, so if I manage to play at my highest level in Roland Garros 2025, I trust I will achieve an important result," stated Cori Gauff, finalist of the WTA 1000 Rome 2025.
