The first combined clay-court event of the season, the Madrid Open, concluded on May 4. Aryna Sabalenka won the Women’s singles, while Casper Ruud emerged victorious in the Men’s singles.

Now it’s time for the second combined Men’s and Women’s event on the red dirt: the Italian Open. Jannik Sinner will be making his comeback following his three-month doping ban. He will be chasing his first title in his home tournament, which he skipped last year due to an injury.

Carlos Alcaraz, who so far has reached two finals on the clay swing (won the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time), withdrew from the Madrid Open because of a hamstring injury he suffered during the Barcelona Open final against Holger Rune. Alcaraz is the winner of nine clay court titles, none of which he lifted at the Italian Open. He has also not yet progressed to the final.

Alexander Zverev, on the other hand, will be chasing his third title at the Foro Italico. He won the title for the first time in 2017 and will enter the tournament as the defending champion. Last year, he defeated Nicolas Jarry in the final.

In the Women’s event, Iga Swiatek will enter the tournament as a three-time winner and also as the defending champion. The five-time Grand Slam champion lifted the title for the first time in 2021, and then defended it the following year.

In 2023, she gave a walkover to eventual winner Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals. Last year, she breezed past Sabalenka in the final. In spite of her being the most successful player in the tournament in recent years, she won’t be the heavy favorite to win.

She has suffered a slump in her form, surprisingly losing both the clay-court events, the Stuttgart Open and the Madrid Open, without reaching the final. This is the tournament where Swiatek will be hoping to regain her form and end her trophy drought as she last lifted a title at the 2024 French Open.

Italian Open 2025 schedule

The main draw of the Women’s singles is underway at the Foro Italico, while the Men’s singles main draw is scheduled to start on May 7. Finals of both Men’s and Women’s are scheduled to be held on May 17 and May 18, respectively.

Aryna Sabalenka is expected to win her fourth title of the season in Rome. The three-time Grand Slam singles champion has already reached the finals of the two clay-court tournaments she played. Except for the Qatar Open and the Dubai Open, she has reached the finals of every tournament she played this season.

Rafael Nadal, who called time on his career at the Davis Cup last year, won a record 10 Italian Open titles. Novak Djokovic, the winner of six Italian Open trophies, won’t be playing the tournament for the first time since 2007.
