Internazionali BNL d’Italia, Rome Masters Draw 2025

The 2025 Rome Masters draw is stay, and the principle draw motion will start on the Foro Italico on Wednesday, Might seventh.

Jannik Sinner’s return to motion after his 3-month negotiated failed doping take a look at suspension is the principle speaking level. I’m certain he’ll be properly acquired by the Italian followers, who principally appear keen to comb the story below the carpet regardless of the myriad of 🚩crimson flags.

Sinner will start his marketing campaign in opposition to both Mariano Navone or wild card Federico Cina. He might meet newly topped Madrid champion Casper Ruud within the quarter-finals. The Italian leads their H2H 3-0. Ruud, coming off his first Masters 1000 title, opens in opposition to Roman Safiullin or Alexander Bublik.

After lacking Madrid resulting from an adductor damage, Carlos Alcaraz returns to the court docket in Rome, the place he’ll tackle both Jan-Lennard Struff or Yoshihito Nishioka in his opening match. The Spaniard is seeded to face World No. 5 and Madrid runner-up Jack Draper within the quarter-finals.

Defending champion Alexander Zverev will kick off his title defence in opposition to both a qualifier or Argentina’s Camilo Ugo Carabelli. The second seed noticed his seven-match win streak snapped in Madrid by Francisco Cerundolo, who handed Zverev a 3rd straight loss of their H2H.

Zverev is in line to face Alcaraz in a possible semi-final, however his path is something however straightforward. His quarter includes a robust group, together with Lorenzo Musetti, Daniil Medvedev, Arthur Fils, and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Medvedev, who received the Rome title in 2023, begins in opposition to a qualifier or Christopher O’Connell. He might meet Musetti within the fourth spherical, and based mostly on his present kind, you’ll be able to’t actually see Meddy fairing too properly in that matchup.

Ideas on the Draw

Prime Half

Seeded gamers: (1) Jannik Sinner, (4) Taylor Fritz, (6) Casper Ruud, (7) Alex de Minaur, (11) Tommy Paul, (12) Ben Shelton, (15) Frances Tiafoe, (16) Andrey Rublev, (17) Francisco Cerundolo, (20) Jakub Mensik, (22) Sebastian Korda, (25) Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, (26) Felix Auger-Aliassime, (29) Matteo Berrettini, (30) Hubert Hurkacz

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is again in motion, launching his Rome marketing campaign in opposition to both Mariano Navone or Federico Cina. The Italian’s draw is hard, with the flashy Alejandro Davidovich Fokina probably awaiting in spherical three. Francisco Cerundolo might take a look at his mettle within the fourth spherical if Sinner navigates that.

One other potential headache comes within the quarters, the place clay court docket menace Casper Ruud is probably going lurking.

Contemporary off a Madrid Open win, Ruud’s heavy topspin might exploit Sinner’s rust after a three-month hiatus, and he isn’t probably the most pure clay court docket participant in comparison with the tennis he can produce on onerous courts.

Over within the second quarter, issues are comparatively open. Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur headline however stay unproven on clay at this stage. Alongside darkish horses like Tommy Paul and João Fonseca are additionally within the combine. Mensik might additionally issue right here.

Andrey Rublev might steal the highlight as he’s a clay-court menace when firing, however his Madrid wobbles counsel he’s nonetheless trying to find that additional gear.

Backside Half

Seeded Gamers: (2) Alexander Zverev, (3) Carlos Alcaraz, (5) Jack Draper, (8) Lorenzo Musetti, (9) Holger Rune, (10) Daniil Medvedev, (13) Arthur Fils, (14) Grigor Dimitrov, (18) Stefanos Tsitsipas, (21) Ugo Humbert, (23) Karen Khachanov, (24) Alexei Popyrin, (27) Denis Shapovalov, (28) Brandon Nakashima, (31) Alex Michelsen, (32) Sebastian Baez

Defending champ and No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev’s season has been up and down. After profitable in Munich, he was dumped out of Madrid within the fourth spherical by Cerundolo, and I nonetheless don’t assume he’s received a large quantity of confidence in his recreation.

Whereas the German will get a smooth opener in opposition to Camilo Ugo Carabelli or a qualifier, the highway will get bumpy quick.

Denis Shapovalov might carry big-hitting chaos in spherical three, adopted by a possible Stefanos Tsitsipas showdown within the fourth. 5 of the Greeks’ 10 wins within the H2H have come on clay however have but to satisfy in Rome.

If Zverev survives, the quarters might pit him in opposition to hometown hero Lorenzo Musetti or Daniil Medvedev. The Russian confirmed he can play properly right here when he lifted the title two years in the past, however the 2025 Medvedev appears a good distance off the 2023 model.

Within the third quarter, Carlos Alcaraz returns after his damage, which stored him out of Madrid. I predicted a clay court docket demolition a la Nadal after he received Monte Carlo, however that hasn’t occurred.

Assuming he’s firing, the Spaniard ought to progress to the quarters, seemingly dispatching Grigor Dimitrov in spherical 4. Elsewhere, Holger Rune and Jack Draper might slug it out for a final-eight spot, with the Dane’s clay recreation giving him the sting, assuming he’s match match.
