The American almost loses the match before shifting momentum in her favor.

Gauff picked up another hard-fought win on clay, coming back from match point down to defeat fellow American teenager Iva Jovic in the fourth round of the Italian Open.

In 1976, the women's doubles final at the Italian Open was suspended due to darkness at the end of the 4th set. The players did not resume the 5th set until September 15th in Houston, making it technically a 108-day final.
