Internazionali di Tennis BNL d'Italia 2025

Tradition, competitiveness, elegance, novelty and curiosity on stage at the Foro Italico

From 29 April to 18 May, the most beloved and winning champions of international tennis will arrive at the Foro Italico Complex, historic Roman venue, for the 82nd edition of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia: three weeks of competitions and more than 300 matches inside a larger and more functional site.

A real ‘new era’ for the eagerly awaited competition that will enter, for the first time, the Stadio dei Marmi, the iconic Capitoline venue named after Pietro Mennea. It will be precisely the Stadio dei Marmi that will welcome with open arms Jannik Sinner, the extraordinary Italian champion of the modern era, the first Italian player in history to reach, and firmly maintain, the top of the ATP ranking, who will make his return to competition in Rome.

Part of the ATP Masters 1000 Circuit and the WTA 1000 Circuit, the Internazionali BNL d'Italia are held on clay courts and are the most important and prestigious Italian men's and women's tennis event.

Since 2023, the tournament has been partly renewed and transformed into a ‘mini Slam’ to offer, to the thousands of fans who crowd the Foro Italico Park every year, an even more intense and richer spectacle in which to admire all the most acclaimed protagonists of the international circuit.

Last year's prize money was very rich: Germany's Alexander Zverev won no less than 9,094,379 Euros, Poland's Iga Świątek, winner of the women's tournament, 4,791,105 Euros, a good 1.2 million more than in 2023, as part of a path that will soon lead to equal prize money.

The winningest player in the history of the Internazionali di Roma is Rafa Nadal, recently retired from competition, with ten victories to his credit in singles. Nadal is also the player with the most matches won in the history of the tournament and was the protagonist in 2005 of the longest final ever at the Internazionali - five hours and 14 intense and interminable minutes of pure agonism - vs Argentine Guillermo Coria.

If Rafael Nadal is the undisputed king of Rome, the queen of the Foro Italico is the American Chris Evert who, between the second half of the 1970s and the early 1980s, returned to the United States with five trophies, setting an absolute record in the women's field.
