Coco Gauff played aggressively throughout to advance to the last four at the clay-court tournament for the third time.

Alcaraz, who won the Monte Carlo Masters in April, improved to 12-1 on clay this season. The four-time Grand Slam champion will next face No. 5 Jack Draper, who rallied past Corentin Moutet 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 on the red clay courts of the Foro Italico.

Carlos Alcaraz has given an update on his physical condition after coming through his first serious test since returning from injury. The four-time Grand Slam champion overcame Karen Khachanov 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in the fourth round of the 2025 Italian Open.

But he turned up at the Foro Italico nine hours before his third-round match and was immediately questioned by Alexander Zverev, who wanted to know why Alcaraz had arrived so early. And the Spaniard had a hilarious explanation, showing where his priorities lay.
