Who will win the men's singles final of the 2025 Rome tennis tournament? Both Agassi and historical data are on Acre's side

The men's singles final of the 2025 Rome Tennis Championships staged on the 18th local time will be played by Alcaraz, who is also known as the successor of the "Big Three", against the current world champion Sinner. In this regard, American legend Agassi believes that the former has an advantage on clay!

Alcaraz

"I think Alcaraz has a chance to match Sinner and even dominate in any tricky game." In an interview with Tennis Channel in 2002, Agassi, a former football champion who was crowned king of Rome, said that the deepest impression of Ecaraz was the Wimbledon tournament, whether it was slippery grass or clay, his speed dropped less than other players, "Tommy Paul, Alex de Minaur and he are very fast, but these people play on grass or clay, you can see that their confidence in balance and movement has decreased. Hardly anything can be done. Paul was athletic in his ability to beat Alcaraz on hard courts, but against any slippery field, Alcaraz didn't move as much as the others, like a spaceship versus a normal plane. ”

The stats also support Agassi's view, with nine of Alcaraz's 18 titles won on clay, including the French Open, Madrid and Monte Carlo Masters, and the 22-year-old Spaniard's grass court form is improving, defending his three titles at Wimbledon in 2023 and 2024. On the other hand, since the start of 2024, Italy's Sinner has been close to perfection on hard courts, but only two of his 19 titles have been won on venues other than hard courts, so Agosi believes that Alcaraz's fluid movement on clay and grass, as well as his versatility to adapt to different courts, may have shaped him to the final on Sunday.

'Alcaraz has a good balance and great movements. Agosy points out that a lot of it comes down to leg strength and balance of movement, "so when you start thinking about red clay or grass, I think he has a slight advantage, provided he's fit and in good shape, of course." ”
