Gauff vs. Paolini & Sinner vs. Alcaraz Locked for 2025 Rome Open Final

Tonight, the women's singles of the 2025 Rome Open final will take place.

This year's final will feature World's No.3 Coco Gauff against Italy's Jasmine Paolini. 

Gauff reached the final after a grueling semifinal victory over Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng, lasting 3 hours and 32 minutes—the longest match of her career. 

Meanwhile, Paolini became the first Italian woman in over a decade to reach the Rome final, defeating Peyton Stearns in the semifinals. 

While Gauff leads their head-to-head 2-1, Paolini won their most recent encounter on clay in Stuttgart. 

A win for Paolini would make her the first Italian woman to claim the singles title in Rome since 1985. 

For men's final, World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz will face World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the men's singles final on Sunday.

Alcaraz advanced after a straight-sets victory over Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals, while Sinner overcame a challenging match against Tommy Paul, rallying from a set down to win 1-6, 6-0, 6-3. 

This final marks their first ATP Masters 1000 final encounter, with Alcaraz leading their head-to-head 6-4, including three wins in 2024. 

Sinner aims to become the first Italian man to win the Rome title since 1976.
