Coco Gauff eases past Yulia Putintseva and Victoria Azarenka beats Sloane Stephens as pair progress in Italian Open
Coco Gauff made little error as she swept past Yulia Putintseva 6-0 6-1 at the Italian Open in Rome. The sixth seed won seven straight games as she claimed the first set in style and took the front foot in the opener, before Putintseva clawed a game back to the appreciation of the Rome crowd. Ad But it would only go down as a consolation, as Gauff thundered through the next five games to put a marker down in her Rome opener.
