No. 4 seed Coco Gauff will face No. 6 Jasmine Paolini for the WTA 1000 Internazionali BNL d’Italia title on Saturday at 5 p.m. local (11 a.m. ET). Here’s everything you need to know.

Will Gauff’s endurance secure her first clay title, or can Paolini’s home crowd and clay-court prowess make Italian Open history?

Coco Gauff expects two things heading into the Rome Open final and that's Jasmine Paolini delivering great tennis but also receiving a very strong support from the local crowd. On Thursday, top-ranked Italian female tennis player Paolini overcame Peyton Stearns 7-5 6-1 to become the first local woman to reach a Rome final since Sara Errani in 2014.
