Overview
- Jannik Sinner, on a 26-match unbeaten streak, returns from a doping suspension to compete in his first Italian Open final on home soil.
- Carlos Alcaraz, with a 14-1 clay record in 2025, has dropped just one set en route to the Rome final and leads their head-to-head series 6-4.
- This marks the 11th meeting between the two rising stars and their first-ever clash in an ATP Masters 1000 final.
- Sinner has won three consecutive Grand Slam titles this year, while Alcaraz claimed the French Open and Wimbledon in 2024.
- Betting odds favor Sinner at –146, though Alcaraz's clay dominance and recent victories over top opponents suggest a tightly contested match.
