Coco Gauff vs Yulia Putintseva
Coco Gauff is set to begin her Italian Open campaign by facing Yulia Putintseva in the second round. Sixth seed Gauff’s performance in clay court tournaments so far has been underwhelming. She failed to go past the third round in both the Stuttgart Open and Madrid Open. The American hopes to better her performance ahead of the upcoming French Open.

Taylor Townsend entered the tournament as a qualifier. She made it to the main draw and defeated Ysaline Bonaventure with a come-from-behind 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 win. She is in action in her career’s first-ever Italian Open tournament.
Aryna Sabalenka vs Sofia Kenin
After winning the Madrid Open title, Aryna Sabalenka will begin her campaign at Rome. The second seed will face Sofia Kenin in the first round. Sabalenka’s best performance in the Italian Open so far is reaching the semifinals. She aims to better it this year.
Sofia Kenin clinched a three-set win against Cristina Bucsa in the first round at Italian Open. The Americna is now aiming to reach her first third round spot in a clay court tournament this year. However it will be an uphill task as she will be up against an in-form Sabalenka.
