Coco Gauff vs Victoria Mboko prediction

Coco Gauff will be aiming to go one better in Rome after a long-awaited return to form in Madrid.

The American’s 2025 has been patchy so far, but the 21-year-old found another gear or two on her way to a runners-up berth in the Spanish capital. 

The former French Open finalist is so often a threat on clay and that’s bad news for 18-year-old Victoria Mboko. 

The Canadian came through qualifying to beat Italy’s Arianna Zucchini in the first round but she has no pedigree at elite level and Gauff should roar through this with ease.
