A vibrant encounter was played between Jaume Munar and Chilean Tomás Barrios Vera in the first round of the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2025, full of tennis and emotional ups and downs, but with the common denominator of fighting to exhaustion. The Spaniard managed to come back from a break down in the final set to win 4-6 6-2 7-5, setting up a match now with Ben Shelton.

Mental health in tennis is an increasingly important issue that players are trying to discuss more openly. The latest to do so is Emil Ruusuvuori, who wanted to share in detail the problems he has been facing for a long time. The former world number 37 in 2023 has been struggling lately and even took a complete break from tennis for months.
Without any significant injuries, his mental health seemed to be the main reason. He explained that his issues involve recurring panic attacks that have been going on for four years, escalating in 2024, leading him to be away from the court for four and a half months. As he strives to regain enjoyment in competition, the Finn is experiencing new episodes of this problem, like the one last week in South Korea.
Just watched emil’s video in which he opens up abt having had panic attacks (both on & off court) for the past 4y, resulting in taking his long break last year; he simply couldn’t go on court 🥺

The reward for hard work had to come sooner or later. Petra Kvitova achieved her first victory since her comeback after giving birth, defeating Irina-Camelia Begu 7-5 6-1. Good feelings from the Czech player, who keeps holding on to hope of being competitive again and having chances for success in major tournaments. Her next opponent in the WTA 1000 Roma 2025 will be Ons Jabeur.

The German admits to having had difficulties maintaining competitive tension and reveals his feelings facing the Rome tournament.
It is not common that after the draw of a tournament of this magnitude, three players have to withdraw almost simultaneously. This is what has happened at the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2025, after Zizou Bergs, Benjamin Bonzi, and Jan-Lennard Struff announced their last-minute absence. The withdrawal of the German directly affects Carlos Alcaraz as Struff could have been his opponent in the second round. The player from Murcia now knows he will debut against Yosihito Nishioka or a lucky loser.

Two Spaniards were seeking access to the main draw of the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2025 on Tuesday, but only one managed to do so. Pablo Carreño suffered a tough setback as Román Andrés Burruchaga came back to beat him 3-6 6-3 6-2, leaving him out of contention for the main draw at the Foro Itálico. However, Carlos Taberner was able to achieve the goal, taking advantage of Faria's retirement due to injury after losing the first set 6-0.
