Overview
- Coco Gauff, who vomited courtside Sunday, took a medical timeout and beat Sorana Cirstea 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 to reach the last 16.
- She next faces Linda Noskova, who advanced by walkover after Liudmila Samsonova withdrew with illness on Sunday.
- On Saturday, defending 2024 champion Iga Swiatek retired against Ann Li citing a virus and “zero energy,” a setback as she targets the Italian Open before Roland Garros.
- Event doctors have intervened during multiple matches, with players using medical timeouts and getting blood pressure and other vitals checked on court.
- Organizers have not identified a source for the sickness, and players now weigh recovery and scheduling choices with Rome up next and Roland Garros approaching.
