Svitolina wins third Rome title

Elina Svitolina has reclaimed the Italian Open crown, defeating world number four Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 in a thrilling final in Rome.

This victory marks Svitolina's third title at the Foro Italico and her first since 2018, following a dominant run that included wins over Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek.
