Coco Gauff Dominates Ella Seidel at Stuttgart Open

Coco Gauff delivered a dominant performance at the Stuttgart Open, defeating Germany's Ella Seidel 6-1, 6-1 in just 57 minutes to reach the quarter-finals, marking a strong return to clay after a period of inconsistent results. Gauff, who has yet to win a title in 2025 despite a strong start to the year, will next face Jasmine Paolini, who advanced by beating Jule Niemeier. Meanwhile, Jessica Pegula continued her impressive clay-court streak with a commanding win over Magdalena Frech, setting up a quarter-final clash with Ekaterina Alexandrova, who upset sixth seed Mirra Andreeva. Pegula is slightly favored to win her match against Alexandrova according to predictive analytics, though Alexandrova remains a strong contender. Gauff and Paolini's upcoming match is anticipated to be closely contested, as Paolini has shown improved form this season. Both Gauff and Pegula are among the top American hopes as the Stuttgart Open quarter-finals approach.
