ATP
Jannik Sinner sweated more than expected to defeat a great Jesper De Jong. The number one showed a slightly lower level than on the first day and is aware that he will have to raise it if he wants to beat his next opponent, Fran Cerúndolo. "The last time I played here, I lost against him on this court. He's an incredible player. Having an incredible season. He had a great tournament last week. It's going to be tough. I need to raise my level if I want to make it even. These are exactly the challenges I need. I'm trying to understand where my game is. It's going to be a good challenge and a good test for me. We'll see how it goes," the Italian concluded.

Fran Cerúndolo is one of the standout names in 2025. Despite not having won any titles yet this season, the Argentine is reaching the final rounds of many tournaments, and the ATP in Rome is no exception. The Buenos Aires native made it to the round of 16 after defeating Sebastian Ofner by 6-2, 6-4 in an hour and 17 minutes. Now, the South American could face a greater threat as he may meet Jannik Sinner, provided the number one player wins his third-round match against Jesper De Jong.

After Alex de Miñaur's classification to the round of 16 of the ATP Rome, defeating Hugo Dellien (6-4, 6-4), the Australian now matches Carlos Alcaraz as the player with the most victories this year (24). This shows that his tennis is synonymous with consistency. However, the number 8 in the ATP ranking aims for more: "I am very pleased with the consistency I have shown by competing every week. But ultimately, the goal is to aim for bigger and better things. That's what I do every week, giving myself the opportunity to do so. I hope to seize my opportunities," says De Minaur, who will face Tommy Paul for a place in the quarterfinals.

The new Pope of the Catholic Church, León XIV, has acknowledged on numerous occasions, before becoming Pope, that tennis is one of his passions. Therefore, in his first meeting with the media covering the Conclave, a journalist asked him about playing a charity match, to which León XIV agreed. The same journalist added: "I'll bring Andre Agassi," to which the Pope replied: "We'll play, as long as you don't bring Sinner". This elicited laughter from those present.
