Italian Open 2025: Men's draw, schedule, players, prize money breakdown and more
Alexander Zverev will be back in Rome to defend his Italian Open crown captured 12 months ago.
www.sportskeeda.comHere are the latest updates on the 2025 Italian Open (men’s singles) based on recent reporting:
-
Champion and final results: Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in the Rome final, 7–6(7–5), 6–1, to win the title. This marked Alcaraz’s seventh ATP Masters 1000 title. Sinner was the World No. 1 returning from a three-month suspension, and his run to the final ended a 26-match win streak.[3][5]
-
Defending champion: Alexander Zverev entered as the defending champion but was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Lorenzo Musetti, highlighting a shift in the title picture.[3]
-
Event context: The Italian Open (Internazionali BNL d’Italia) is played on outdoor clay at the Foro Italico in Rome and is part of the ATP Masters 1000 calendar (and also hosts a WTA event in the same week). The main draw run typically begins in early May, with the final weekend around May 17–18, 2025.[2]
-
Notable participants and storyline: Jannik Sinner’s return to action at his home event was highly anticipated after his suspension, with expectations that he would challenge for the title but ultimately finished as runner-up. Other seeds included Carlos Alcaraz (seeded) and Taylor Fritz among the top contenders.[5][2][3]
