Far from experiencing any hangover from the great success in Madrid, Casper Ruud continues to deliver as the favorite in his matches at ATP Rome 2025. The Norwegian will lose that favorite status in the quarterfinals where he will face Jannik Sinner, a duel that raises great anticipation among the public, as it will be key to see at what level the world number one is heading into Roland Garros as well.

They have already faced each other four times with a commanding head-to-head record of 4-0, which complicates Ruud's chances somewhat despite arriving in great form. As Casper himself stated on several occasions, he remains the same person whether after winning Madrid or returning to the Top 10.

"It was a tough match against Jaume, we know each other well. We have already had two very tough matches this year. The first round in Australia, went to five sets. The second time was in Dallas, in the semifinals, it was 7-6 in the third set. Luckily, the third time was in my favor. Today was not as close, but it was a very tough match. Sometimes a break in each set is enough. I am very happy with how I played."

"One thing is to win matches and another, of course, to do it in the most important tournaments. I have had a bit of both. I would consider that Alcaraz has had four or five better years on the surface. He won Paris, won Madrid a couple of times, won Monte Carlo. By far, he has won more big titles than me. It has been five consistent years on this surface for me. That's why I keep saying that I love coming back here, I feel like I'm in my backyard, but that doesn't mean I don't lose matches on this surface. I have already lost a couple of matches this year. Now I'm on a good streak," Casper said in a press conference.

"Tomorrow will be one of the toughest matches of the year. Jannik gave me a good beating last time in Turin. This time we play again in Italy. It's a different surface, a different tournament. He has been very good since the first match. I have also felt very good, so tomorrow will be a good match."
