Jannik Sinner, the world's No. 1 ranked Italian player, claimed his first Rome Open title by defeating 23rd-ranked Norwegian Casper Ruud 2-0 in the final match held on clay courts at the Foro Italico Complex in Rome. The match, lasting one hour and 45 minutes, was played on the main court of the ATP 1000 tournament.

Sinner, who lost in last year's final, broke Ruud's serve in the first game of the first set, despite initially trailing 0-2. He took the first set 6-4, breaking Ruud's serve again in the ninth game. In the second set, Sinner maintained his lead, breaking Ruud's serve early and winning the set 6-4, securing the 2-0 victory.

This triumph makes Sinner the first Italian male tennis champion at the Rome Open since Adriano Panatta in 1976. The trophy was presented to Sinner by Italian President Sergio Mattarella and former Rome Open champion Panatta, who both witnessed the match from the stands.

Sinner praised Ruud's performance after the match and expressed that receiving the trophy from Mattarella and Panatta was a great honor, stating he was delighted to bring the title to Italy after 50 years.
