His top rival Jannik Sinner – defeated by Carlitos in the Rome Masters 1000 final yesterday – will defend most of his points in the second half of the year, where he had been virtually unstoppable in 2024.

Alejandro Tabilo and Nicolas Jarry, who reached the semifinal and final in Rome last year, respectively, did not fare well this year, which dropped them significantly on the ATP Rankings. Tabilo withdrew from the event, dropping 400 points and slipping down 19 places on the rankings to No. 61 with 940 points.
