Main Highlights:

Svatek: The defending champion is the most successful player in Rome in the past 10 years. She won the championship three times: 2021+2022+2024, especially in the 2021 Championship. She won the championship with 6-0, 6-0. Svatek's transcript in Rome is excellent: 20-2. If Svatek can raise his glass for the fourth time, she will tie Serena + Martinez + Sabatina and other three, becoming tied for second place in history, and the first person in history will come from Ivette to win the Rome 5 times: 1974-75, 1980-82.

Sabalenka: She participated in the Rome season as the World No. 1 for the first time. She is also the player with the most wins in the WTA main match this year. Last year, Sabalenka scored in the championship game and eventually lost to Svatek.

Svitorina: She won two back-to-back championships in 2017+2018. This season, Svitorina won nine consecutive victories in the clay match until Madrid's semi-finals were ended by Sabalenka.

Lebakina: Another pre-conference champion. She has been squeezed out of the Top 10 for the first time since 2023, but her report card in Rome is 10-2, winning the 2023 Women's Singles Championship.

Gaof: She looks forward to continuing to be strong. In the Madrid semi-finals, Gaof crushed Svatek 6-1, 6-1 and entered the clay WTA1000 Championship for the first time. Of course, she looks forward to replicating this good result in Rome. Gao Fu has scored into the Rome quarterfinals twice: 2021+2024, and both lost to Svatek.

Paulini: This is her first time returning to her hometown to participate in the competition as the Top 10. Paulini won only 2 games in Rome 5 times. In 2024, she was given a round of games by Sherif; since then, Paulini started a speeding life, and scored back to back to two Grand Slam championships: Roland Garros + Wimbledon.

Chinese Players: For Chinese fans, what they care most about is the performance of China Golden Flower. In terms of Chinese players, No.8 Zheng Qinwen and No.43 Wang Xinyu were directly shortlisted for the main competition due to their world rankings. Looking forward to King Zheng 2 Jinhua returning in full blood.
