Two weeks of tennis spectacle and great emotions have come to an end at the Foro Italico, and it's time to take stock. Carlos Alcaraz and Jasmine Paolini leave as champions of the Rome 2025 tournament, leaving very powerful sensations in the hearts and minds of all fans, but there is much more to analyze.
Two unforgettable weeks were experienced at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2025 and WTA 1000 Rome 2025, two weeks of celebration for Italian tennis that could not be rounded off due to the greatness of Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard made a significant statement in a tournament that leaves much more to analyze, such as the greatness of Jasmine Paolini, who is a strong contender to win a Grand Slam title sooner rather than later.
1. Carlos Alcaraz, magic and skill to enhance an infinite legend
It's easy to lose perspective on what Carlos is doing, but just looking at the numbers is enough to understand the magnitude of this player. Moreover, at the Foro Italico, he not only emerged as the champion but did it with skill, maturity, and tactical intelligence that could already make him an almost unassailable player on clay.
2. Jannik Sinner shortens steps in his process of regaining glory
After three months without being able to compete, the world number 1 reaching the final is something that cannot be underestimated. The achievements of the Italian are highly commendable and provide an ideal foundation to rise to his peak level for Roland Garros.
3. Alexander Zverev, a crisis of game, results, and identity
His level of tennis is concerning, but even more concerning is his attitude, which can even be infuriating to many. Engulfed in a negative spiral, the German complains about external factors and even criticizes his opponents, unable to accept the harsh reality unfolding in his path.
4. The main alternatives to the established power gain a lot of ground
This clay court tour is showcasing some names that must be taken into account for their consistency and level of play. Musetti, Ruud, Paul, and Draper are four players who are performing exceptionally well and will arrive in Paris with more confidence when facing the top favorites.
5. Holger Rune and Stefanos Tsitsipas continue to raise doubts
The Danish player's title in Barcelona was an oasis in the desert, while the Greek has not found solace for his inconsistency even on clay courts. Both will land in Paris with much lower expectations than their status as players should demand.
6. Jasmine Paolini, destined for paradise
A complete player, a woman capable of dominating despite her height, of defending herself effectively, and of making an exquisite analysis of each match. In short, a stellar player who made a strong statement at the Foro Italico and seems to hold a Grand Slam title in her racket.
7. Cori Gauff keeps evolving
Reaching two finals in this tour must be highly appreciated for a woman who seems better adapted to clay courts every day. She will arrive in Paris highly motivated to lift a title that has eluded her despite her good performances in recent months.
8. Aryna Sabalenka is not unbeatable
Losing occasionally is healthy and refreshes one's determination to work harder. That's how the defeat of the Belarusian against Zheng should be interpreted. The awakening of the beast may happen at Roland Garros, a territory yet unconquered for a Sabalenka who will take note of this setback to return stronger.
9. Iga Swiatek and the alarm bells ringing
There is a major concern surrounding the Polish player, whose emotional crisis is evident. She seems to have lost the joy in her game and urgently needs a change in her life or an extended break. Roland Garros could either be the lifebuoy that brings her back to form or a definitive burden leading to her downfall.
10. Qinwen Zheng regains her top form and threatens the favorites
The return of the Chinese player after a challenging period of physical issues and lack of rhythm and confidence has been long awaited. Her performance at the Foro Italico puts her back in the spotlight and makes her a strong contender for glory in Paris.
