Italian Open: What ranking points and prize money did Elina Svitolina and Coco Gauff earn?
Elina Svitolina made it a hat-trick of titles in Rome as she overcame Coco Gauff in a rollercoaster 6-4 6-7 6-2 triumph on Saturday.
After falling short in last year’s Italian Open final to Jasmine Paolini, Gauff was determined to come out on top this time out and raced into a first-set lead.
However, seventh seed Svitolina, who beat Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek on her run to the final, broke back twice to move 6-4 up.
Just when it looked like the match was slipping away from the American, the 22-year-old rallied and played an excellent tiebreak (7-3) to take it to a decider.
However, the 31-year-old composed herself once again to claim a fourth WTA 1000 crown. So, where does this leave the pair when it comes to prize money and rankings? Tennis365 has dug a little deeper to find out.
