Raducanu faces potential Gauff rematch at Rome Open

Raducanu, sidelined by a viral illness and hand injury since March, will begin her campaign in the second round after receiving a first-round bye. Her potential opponent in the third round would be Gauff, the reigning French Open champion.

The British No 1 has yet to play a clay-court match this season but is determined to participate in Rome. Should she advance, her quarter-final opponent would likely be world No 8 Mirra Andreeva. librea.one
