Jannik Sinner staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Tommy Paul 1–6, 6–0, 6–3 and reach his first Rome Masters final on home soil today. Carlos Alcaraz overcame Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, 6–3, 7–6(4), surviving windy conditions to secure his spot in the championship match. The Italian, buoyed by vocal home support at the Foro Italico, fought through early rust and a first-set drubbing to dominate the next two frames against Paul. Meanwhile, Alcaraz outlasted Musetti in a tense second set tiebreak.
Sinner trails Alcaraz 4–6 in their head to head but holds a 1–1 record on clay, setting the stage for an intriguing rubber in tomorrow’s final. Both players enter the match with momentum, Sinner riding a 26 match winning streak since his last defeat to Alcaraz in Beijing 2024, and Alcaraz seeking his fourth title of the season ahead of Roland Garros. The world No. 1 will face the home favorite, and the Rome crowd will be electric, as the sport’s brightest young talents vie for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia crown.
