Carlos Alcaraz of Spain kicks off his campaign in Rome on Friday, facing Dusan Lajovic of Serbia in the second round of the 2025 Rome Masters.
Alcaraz, the 2025 Monte Carlo Masters champion and 2025 Barcelona Open runner-up, will resume his campaign on the red dirt of Rome after skipping the Madrid Masters because of an injury to his adductor. The reigning French Open champion is 9-1 on the clay this season, with only his final loss to Holger Rune 6-7. 2-6 the only stain on yet another impeccable clay-court season record.
Lajovic arranged a match with the world’s No.2 after coming through the qualifying phase and beating Yoshihito Nishioka of Japan 7-5 6-1 in the first round of the Rome Masters. Lajovic has already played 33 matches this year, going 17-16 and 13-8 on clay.
