Matches at the Foro Italico’s Central Court

From April 29 to May 18 at the Foro Italico, where world-class tennis makes its mark

Next May, Rome will host the 82nd edition of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, transforming the Foro Italico into a vibrant blend of tradition, sporting passion, and the timeless allure of the Eternal City. Taking place during the Jubilee year, the combined event offers a unique opportunity to experience a newly revitalized Rome at its most magnificent.

For the second time in its history, the Rome tournament will feature 96 players in both the men’s and women’s draws, with an expanded format spanning three weeks at a larger, more modern venue. This upgrade not only increases the number of matches — over 300 are scheduled — but also elevates the overall spectator experience, offering more opportunities to watch top stars from the ATP Master 1000 and WTA 1000 circuits in action. With exclusive services such as season tickets and tailored hospitality packages, the 2025 edition is set to be truly unparalleled.

Prominent among the top names on the men’s entry list (currently being updated) are 2023 Rome champion Daniil Medvedev, rising star Carlos Alcaraz, and the legendary Novak Djokovic. Yet, all eyes will be on Jannik Sinner, the Italian hopeful whose grit and determination have already captured the hearts of tennis fans worldwide.

In the women’s tournament, defending champion Iga Swiatek will look to retain her title, but she faces fierce competition. Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula are all poised to battle for the top spot. Also worth watching are veterans Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova, both of whom have made their mark in numerous WTA tournaments.

The Internazionali BNL d’Italia is more than just a tennis tournament; it is a celebration of tradition and prestige that dates back to the 1930s. Each edition continues to write new chapters in a history rich with unforgettable moments, featuring tennis legends like Björn Borg, Chris Evert, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams.

The 2024 edition saw Alexander Zverev and Iga Swiatek claim victory, their triumphs immortalized against the iconic backdrops of Trinità dei Monti and Ponte Sant’Angelo. In the women’s doubles, the Italian duo of Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani emerged as champions. These captivating images highlight the special bond between the tournament and the Eternal City, which offers not only thrilling sports action but also an unrivaled scenic setting.

But the experience extends beyond the courts: the Internazionali village serves as the vibrant heart of the event, where sports and entertainment seamlessly converge. This year, the gastronomy areas will offer a journey through the authentic flavors of Roman cuisine, featuring traditional dishes and gourmet options. Additionally, visitors can explore exclusive shopping stands showcasing top brands, and unwind in dedicated wellness zones, all while soaking in a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
