Day of surprises at the 2025 ATP Rome. While Jack Draper and Stefanos Tsitsipas comfortably won their matches against Luciano Darderi and Alexandre Muller, respectively, Denis Shapovalov fell to a newcomer in the category like Vilius Gaubas, who came through the qualifying rounds and upset Damir Dzumhur in the opening round. The Lithuanian played a very complete tennis, and Shapovalov, who continues to struggle, lost 6-3 6-4. Daniil Medvedev also had a straightforward win against Cameron Norrie (6-4 6-2), and Musetti played as the local favorite beating Otto Virtanen (6-3 6-2). However, Grigor Dimitrov was the other casualty of the day, losing to Francesco Passaro, who was carried by his local fans (7-5 6-3).
