Jasmine Paolini makes it a double. After the unforgettable title she won in singles, the Italian tennis player repeated herself alongside Sara Errani by winning the doubles of the WTA 1000 at the Foro Italico for the second consecutive year. At the end of an exhilarating run, the Paris 2024 Olympic Golden Couple won in the final over Russia's Veronika Kudermetova and Belgium's Elise Mertens with a score of 6-4 7-5 and confirmed the trophy in Rome. The Tuscan born '96 replicates the feat achieved by Raffaella Reggi, who won singles and doubles in the edition of the tournament staged in Taranto in 1985. No dice, however, for Jannik Sinner. In the last men's singles act, the ATP No. 1 was defeated by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz by a score of 7-6(5) 6-1. It is the Iberian, therefore, who lifts the trophy of the Capitoline ATP Masters.
