Emma Raducanu exited the Italian Open on Monday afternoon after she was convincingly beaten and outclassed by Coco Gauff, winning three games in a match which lasted just 79 minutes.
Raducanu was always expected to play the part of the underdog in this round of 16 showdown. She trails world No3 Gauff considerably in seedings rankings, and faced a considerable task to beat her on clay after she had reached the final of the Madrid Open last month.
