The women’s semi-finals take centre stage at the Italian Open in Rome today, but alongside those, we also have the last of the men’s quarter-finals to enjoy, with Jannik Sinner looking to continue his incredible run. Follow all the action with us here!<\/p>\n

23:50 CET – We’re heading to a decider in the Eternal City, with Swiatek stepping up her game and winning the second set 6-2.<\/p>\n

The Pole served much better than she did in the opener, with her first-serve percentage climbing from 52% to 78%, and while she was still broken once, she all won all three of Svitolina’s first three service games to take a big lead.<\/p>\n

With momentum behind her and the record she has on clay, she has to be considered the favourite now.<\/p>\n

23:11 CET –\u00a0Elina Svitolina<\/a> has taken the lead in her semi-final clash with Iga Swiatek<\/a>, winning a tight first set 6-4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neither player was able to dominate on their serve, with the pair converting five break points between them, and Svitolina put away the all-important one in the final game to edge ahead.<\/p>\n

21:54 CET –\u00a0Daniil Medvedev<\/a> will be the next man to try and put a halt to Jannik Sinner’s<\/a> remarkable run, with the former US Open champion overcoming a huge test<\/a> against young Spaniard Martin Landaluce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Landaluce came flying out of the blocks, winning the first set 6-1 in just 26 minutes, but Medvedev regrouped to narrowly edge the next two in 49 and 69 minutes, respectively.<\/p>\n

It was ultimately a deserved win, with Medvedev putting on the pressure for the majority of the clash after the opener.<\/p>\n

17:00 CET – The drama isn’t over in Rome today. We have two late games to enjoy, with the last of the men’s quarter-finals and the second women’s semi-final still to come. You can follow those fixtures below:<\/p>\n

Martin Landaluce vs Daniil Medvedev – 19:00 CET<\/a><\/p>\n

Iga Swiatek vs Elina Svitolina – 20:30 CET<\/a><\/p>\n

16:33 CET –\u00a0Coco Gauff<\/a> is into the final of the Italian Open for the second year running!<\/p>\n

The third-seeded American has ended\u00a0Sorana Cirstea<\/a>‘s brilliant run in Rome, winning their semi-final clash 6-4, 6-3<\/a> in under 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

36-year-old Cirstea’s road to the last four was impressive, notably involving an upset of top seed Aryna Sabalenka, but she ran out of steam today.<\/p>\n

Gauff won five break points (of six) in the match, as well as 74% of her first-serve points. She will face the winner of Iga Swiatek<\/a> and Elina Sviotlina<\/a> in Saturday’s decider.<\/p>\n

14:45 CET –\u00a0As most would have expected, Sinner has seen off Rublev without much trouble at all, claiming a 6-2, 6-4 win over just over 90 minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Italian’s serving was actually below its usual standard, with him getting just 49% of his first serves in, but he did win all but seven of the points on them and saved two out of three break points.<\/p>\n

Sinner now has 32 consecutive wins at Masters 1000 tournaments, which is the most ever, with him breaking the record previously held by Novak Djokovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

13:00 CET –\u00a0Play is soon to get underway in Rome for the day, and the first match sees home favourite Jannik Sinner<\/a> out to extend his absurd winning run against Andrey Rublev<\/a> in the third of the men’s quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to look past the Italian in this one; he’s won 26 matches in a row, and 31 Masters matches, too. He’s also won five of his last six meetings with Rublev, but the Russian will give it a red-hot go, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n
