ATP Italian Open 2025 Entry List: Sinner’s return confirmed; Alcaraz, Djokovic & Zverev set to play
The entry list for the 2025 edition of the Italian Open ATP 1000 event is out, and Jannik Sinner’s comeback to the tour has been confirmed.
Sinner has not played since securing his third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, with the world No 1 serving a three-month suspension for returning two positive doping tests last March.
The 23-year-old’s suspension runs from February 9 until May 4, and his Rome entry means he will make his comeback on home soil.
This year’s Italian Open, which will be staged from May 7-18, will be the 82nd installment of the prestigious clay-court tournament.
World No 2 Alexander Zverev is the defending champion, having overcome Nicolas Jarry in the 2024 final at the Foro Italico.
How many players will feature in the main draw?
The Italian Open men’s singles main draw will feature 96 players, a total consisting of 79 direct entrants, 12 qualifiers and five wildcards.
Which players have received wildcards?
The wildcards for this year’s Italian Open are yet to be announced.
In 2024, all five wildcards went to Italian Players: Fabio Fognini, Matteo Gigante, Stefano Napolitano, Andrea Vavassori and Giulio Zeppieri.
Which former champions will play?
Three Italian Open champions are on the entry list: Zverev (2017 and 2024), Novak Djokovic (2008, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2020 and 2022), and Daniil Medvedev (2023).
