With her win, the Italian clinched her second WTA 1000 title and ensured her rise to the World No. 4 ranking ahead of the French Open.

Jasmine Paolini also earned words of appreciation from Coco Gauff, as the American admitted that Paolini had "forced" her to play well below her level in the Italian Open final. The 21-year-old was particularly disappointed by her serving display, having recorded seven double faults.

Although Gauff lamented her subpar performance, she made it clear that she had no intention of discrediting the Italian since she fully deserved the win.

"Yeah, I mean, Jasmine played I think great tennis today. I think it was one of her best levels today. I also didn't play my best level. I think it's both. It's not to discredit my opponent. She forced me to play that way. Yeah, maybe I could have served better and put more balls in the court, could play better. I definitely could and can. But she played to win today and she deserved to win," Gauff said.

Jasmine Paolini and Coco Gauff will be in action at the French Open next, which begins on May 25. Both players will be looking to clinch their maiden title at the claycourt Major after finishing as the runner-up to Iga Swiatek on previous occasions.
