2025 Rome Masters Preview: All Eyes on the Eternal City
The Return of Sinner, the Reign of Clay, and the Chase to Paris
The red clay of Rome will take center stage from May 5–May 18, 2025, as the ATP and WTA Tours unite once again for one of the most iconic stops on the spring calendar: the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
With the French Open just around the corner, players are sharpening their games under the Roman sun, battling through the draw at the Foro Italico, where history, passion, and power collide in every rally.
Sinner Returns to Rome with Redemption in Mind
The biggest storyline entering the Eternal City? Jannik Sinner is back.
After serving a doping-related suspension that sidelined him for several months, the world No. 1 makes his return to competition on home soil—ready to reclaim both his reputation and rhythm. The 23-year-old Italian, beloved by fans and known for his clinical ball-striking, will have the full weight of the Roman crowd behind him as he embarks on what could be the most important tournament of his young career.
Sinner’s absence left a notable void on tour this spring. His return, especially at such a high-stakes event in his native Italy, ensures packed crowds, a buzzing atmosphere, and a storyline every bit as compelling as the action itself.
Alcaraz, Tsitsipas Lead Men’s Contenders
Joining Sinner in the men’s field are the tour’s biggest names—and biggest threats. Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time Madrid champion and reigning Roland Garros winner, comes to Rome looking for rhythm and revenge after falling short here in 2024.
Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic, the ageless champion, has opted to miss this final Masters 1000 clay stop to fine-tune his form before hunting his record-extending 25th Grand Slam in Paris. The Serb, who has five titles in Rome, hasn’t won a match on clay this season.
Also in the mix: Stefanos Tsitsipas, recently crowned champion in Monte Carlo; Casper Ruud, a finalist in Paris two years ago; Andrey Rublev, Alexander Zverev, and rising Brazilian phenom Joao Fonseca, who continues to light up the tour with fearless clay-court tennis.
Swiatek, Sabalenka Set the Pace in WTA Draw
On the women’s side, the path to the trophy once again runs through Iga Swiatek. The Polish powerhouse, already a two-time winner in Rome and a four-time French Open champion, will arrive looking to secure her place as the pre-Roland Garros favourite.
Challenging her will be Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, Qinwen Zheng, and home-crowd darling Jasmine Paolini, who has been in the form of her life this season.
With the women’s game deeper than ever and a number of players showing world-beating form on clay, expect drama, upsets, and epic three-setters throughout the two weeks.
Roman Legacy and the Road Ahead
The Rome Masters is more than just a tune-up—it’s a statement.
For many, it’s the last true test before Roland Garros. For others, it’s a chance to prove themselves on one of tennis’ most prestigious stages.
From the statues lining Pietrangeli Court to the roars that echo through the grounds during night matches, there’s something uniquely magic about tennis in Rome.
And this year, with Jannik Sinner’s return, Djokovic’s chase, and Swiatek’s dominance, the 2025 edition promises to be one for the ages.
