The qualifying rounds of both the Men’s and Women’s events of the Italian Open are currently underway at the Foro Italico. It’s the second combined Men’s and Women’s clay-court tournament of the 1000 category following the Madrid Open.
The Madrid Open saw Aryna Sabalenka lift her third title of the season by beating Coco Gauff. In the Men’s final, Casper Ruud became the first Norwegian to take home a Masters 1000 title by beating Jack Draper.
Iga Swiatek is the most successful player in recent years, having lifted three titles (2021, 2022, and 2024). In 2023, she handed a walkover to eventual winner Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals.
The 23-year-old has suffered a dip in her form and will be hoping to end her trophy drought in the tournament as she has not yet reached a final since winning her fourth French Open last year. Due to the five-time Grand Slam champion’s current form, Sabalenka will be the heavy favorite to win her first title in the tournament.
The 27-year-old has reached six finals out of the eight tournaments she played, winning three titles, including the Miami Open and the Madrid Open, which made her only the second woman since Serena Williams to take home these two titles in the same year. She reached the finals of the two clay-court events she played this year as prior to Madrid, she lost the Stuttgart Open title to Jelena Ostapenko.
Last year, she lost the final to Swiatek. Although Gauff reached her first Madrid Open final last week, she won’t be the favorite to win because of her inconsistent season.
In the Men’s event, Alexander Zverev will enter the tournament as the favorite to win. He defeated Nicolas Jarry and took home the title last year. He has already claimed a clay-court title (BMW Open) this season.
Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, will be chasing his first title in the tournament. A winner of nine clay-court trophies, the Spaniard has not yet reached the summit clash of the Italian Open. So far on the clay swing, he reached two finals, winning his first Monte Carlo Masters title. After injuring his hamstring during the Barcelona Open, he skipped the Madrid Open.
Jannik Sinner will be making his comeback post the doping ban in his home tournament. The Italian Open will be the three-time Grand Slam champion’s first tournament since the Australian Open in January. He skipped the home event last year due to an injury and has not yet progressed to the final.

Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion, lifted the title at the Foro Italico a record 10 times. But he won’t be playing this time as he hung up his racket at the Davis Cup last year. The Italian Open will also not see Novak Djokovic as he has decided to withdraw from the tournament for the first time since 2007, last winning in 2022 by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas.
