All eyes in this WTA 1000 in Rome 2025 are on Iga Swiatek, as it could not be otherwise. Champion in three of the last four editions, the Polish player arrives at the Foro Italico with the responsibility of performing well if she doesn't want to drop out of the top 3. She has known for a while now who her first opponent will be: Elisabetta Cocciaretto. The local tennis player won her match against Avanesyan (6-2, 4-6, 6-1) and now has this opportunity to shine in front of her home crowd. However, Alexandra Eala couldn't shine at all as she was completely crushed by the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk (6-0, 6-1)
