Alcaraz beats Sinner to lift first Italian Open crown

Rome, May 18 (UNI) Spain's Carlos Alcaraz produced a scintillating performance to defeat local favourite and world number one Jannik Sinner 7-6(5), 6-1 in the final of the Italian Open here on Sunday, clinching his third title of the 2025 season.
The 22-year-old Alcaraz, ranked No. 2, has now beaten Sinner in their last four meetings, extending his head-to-head advantage to 7-4. It also ended Sinner’s 26-match unbeaten run, which stretched back to his loss to Alcaraz in the 2024 China Open final.
Appearing in his first tournament since lifting the Australian Open trophy in January, Sinner was aiming to become the first Italian since Adriano Panatta in 1976 to win the Rome Masters. But the Spaniard dashed those hopes with a dominant display, particularly in the second set, to claim his seventh ATP Masters 1000 title.
