Emma Raducanu produced an impressive comeback to beat Veronika Kudermetova and set up an intriguing fourth-round meeting with Coco Gauff at the Italian Open.

Britain's Raducanu beat the Russian 5-7 6-0 6-1 in a topsy-turvy match in Rome.

Raducanu served for the first set but was broken and lost three games in a row before reeling off eight games of her own.

She grew in confidence as Kudermetova faltered, clenching her fists and yelling in celebration after a thumping forehand winner secured victory.

"The best thing for me was recovering from the first set after serving for it," the world number 49 told Sky Sports.
