It’s the day of the men’s semi-finals in Rome and the two best players are both in action with home hero Jannik Sinner facing Tommy Paul after Carlos Alcaraz takes on another Italian in the form of Lorenzo Musetti.
15:45 CET – Here we go! Musetti is serving first in the first men’s semi-final of the 2025 Italian Open, follow every point of it here.
14:05 CET – Both Alcaraz and Musetti have made it to the final four in convincing fashion.
The Spaniard did let his level drop in the Round of 16 against Karen Khachanov, losing the second set, but responded with a hugely impressive straight-sets win over Jack Draper.
Musetti meanwhile hasn’t dropped a single set yet which is a real feat given his last match was against Alexander Zverev, who he saw off in a tight battle that lasted for over two hours.
12:04 CET – We’re getting closer and closer to what will be the sixth meeting between Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti.
Alcaraz lost the first of them but has won each of the last four. However, Musetti did claim a set in their last meeting back in April and is playing the tennis of his life at the moment. Plus, he’ll have the crowd willing him on.
With both players boasting hugely entertaining brands of tennis too, this clash should be a good one.
08:50 CET – Hello and welcome to Flashscore’s coverage of the men’s semi-finals in Rome!
What a final four it is at the Italian Open, with it consisting of the world’s two best players in Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as well as clay-court master Lorenzo Musetti, who along with Sinner will have a raucous home crowd buoying him on.
All three have produced some stunning tennis in the Italian capital, with Sinner’s complete demolition of Madrid champion Casper Ruud last night especially impressive.
Tommy Paul beating the world number one would be quite the underdog story, but he’s looked good in Rome – especially in his win over Alex De Minaur – so never say never.
The fun will begin with a repeat of the Monte Carlo final between Alcaraz and Musetti at 15:30, and we’ll be building up to it throughout the day.
