Coco Gauff is the latest player into the Quarter-Finals of the 2025 Stuttgart Open after thrashing Ella Seidel in just 57 minutes.
Gauff looked a different prospect indoors compared to her form on the outdoor courts as of late and looked superb throughout her win over the rising German star who came through a marathon with Tatjana Maria yesterday. It was a 6-1, 6-1 win for the American who now faces Jasmine Paolini.
In the first set, Gauff broke Seidel's serve four times securing her service games with efficiency. The serve in particular of Gauff which sometimes can be ropey was on point as she dictated the pace and direction of rallies.
Seidel struggled to find any sort of rhythm on her service games losing four in the opening set. Gauff was given ample break point opportunities and took them. The second set mirrored the first as she broke early and established a 3-1 lead.
Gauff being able to break serve so efficiently was a key factor as she seized chance after chance en route to another 6-1 set victory. Seidel was unable to lay a glove on the relentless pressure from the former US Open champion and when the serve breaks down, there is little place to go.
Now it will be Paolini which will be ample test in comparison to Seidel and will very much establish where her game is at and whether she is back on top form heading into Madrid and Rome in the coming weeks.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
