All the top three seeds in the women s singles were eliminated! Three players entered the quarterfinals of Rome for the first time, Goff defeated Andreva in 4

With the end of the two quarter-finals in the first half of the Roma station, the top four lineup and semi-final matchup situation were also released. The top three seeds of the tournament, Sabalenka, Svatek and Pegula, all were eliminated and missed the semi-finals. Gao Fu became the highest-ranked seed player after defeating Andreva. She will compete with Zheng Qinwen for the final tickets; Paulini will play against Dark Horse Stearns.

Gaof's opponent in this round was No. 7 seed Andreva, who finally won 6-4 and 7-6 (5), and maintained a victory over the latter in four games, defeating his opponent two consecutive stops to advance to the semi-finals. Andreva played well in this game, but Gao Fu's defense made the young Russian girl become more and more impatient and eventually lost.

From technical statistics, Andreva played more calmly in the second set than in the first set, but her overall unforced mistakes were still 19 more than Gofu, and the winning score was only one more than Gofu. Gao Fu scored 2 Aces, 2 double mistakes, 67% win rate, 22 winning points and 28 unforced mistakes; Andreva made 3 double mistakes, 23 winning points and 47 unforced mistakes. After experiencing a sluggish state at the beginning of the year, Goufu recovered her form in the European clay season, and reached the semi-finals of 1000 matches in two 1000 matches, and entered the semi-finals of 1000 for the 1000 matches for the 10th time in her career. With his outstanding performance in the clay season, Gofu has returned to second place in the real-time ranking, surpassing Pegula and Svatech. Gofu last rose to second place in the world, in June 2024.

Regarding returning to the world second place, Gao Fu said, "Ranking is not what I pay most attention to now. What I am more eager to win another Grand Slam trophy." In the semi-finals, Gao Fu's opponent was Zheng Qinwen, who had just crossed the mountains and ended his six-game losing streak against Sabalenka. It is worth mentioning that Gao Fu is also one of Zheng Qinwen's "nemesis". The two had played twice before, and Zheng Qinwen lost all of them: in 24 years, Rome stopped at the quarterfinals 0-2, and ranked second in the finals of the WTA year-end finals 1-2.

Facing the top seed Sabalenka, Zheng Qinwen played another masterpiece after winning the Paris Olympics. She defeated the world number one 6-4 and 6-3, reaching the semi-finals of the tournament for the first time and entering the semi-finals of the 1000 tournament for the third time. In this game, Zheng Qinwen kept all his serves and received excellent receptions, withstood Sabalenka's first three beats and found a good opportunity to score in multiple rounds. Interestingly, Zheng Qinwen defeated the world's No. 1 twice in his career, and both achieved his first victory after losing six consecutive times.

Zheng Qinwen won the semi-finals and runner-up in the last two 1000 tournaments. I wonder what kind of answers will be delivered this time? In the two semi-finals in the second half, Paulini made a big reversal when he was behind 6-7/0-4, and finally defeated No. 13 seed Schneider 6-7(1) 6-4 6-2; Sterns narrowly defeated two-time champion and No. 16 seed Svitorina 6-2/4-6/7-6(4), and won three consecutive games in this site to advance to the tiebreak. Zheng Qinwen, Paulini and Stearns all advanced to the semi-finals of Rome for the first time.
