Command Analysis

Cori Gauff

Current form
Gauff is making it to the finals for the second consecutive tournament, and he's clearly in great shape right now. In Madrid, Corey lost to Sobolenko in the decisive match (3-6, 6-7). On the way to the final in the Italian capital, the American played her matches unstably. At the start, there was a set lost in the confrontation with Mboko (3-6 ,6-2, 6-1). Lynette, Raducanu and Andreeva managed to figure it out in two sets, although only the match against Emma turned out to be easy. In the semifinals, Gauff defeated Zheng Jingwen (7-6, 4-6, 7-6) in a stubborn confrontation with a huge number of unforced errors.
Professional qualities
Gauff moves well around the court, works great with her feet, which allows her to get difficult balls on the back line and block all directions for the development of opponents' attacks. At any moment, Cory can go on the attack. However, her serve is unstable, which often makes it difficult to score easy points.

In the semifinals, the Italian played with Peyton Stearns, the fight in that meeting was only in the opening set (7-5, 6-1).
