In the men's singles semifinals of the 2025 Rome Tennis Masters on the 16th local time, the current world champion Sinner went through ups and downs, but finally reversed the 11th seed Paul of the United States 1:6, 6:0, 6:3.

Sinner, the world's current football champion
"I'm just trying to stay mentally fit." Sinner believes that the situation on Centre Court was different that day, the weather was colder and more stuffy, and he struggled a little at the start of the game, but fortunately he quickly adjusted the bottom line and stabilized. He also revealed that in fact, from the third round, a small blister has been grinding on the sole of his foot, "Sometimes, my legs are not easy to move. It's normal, I'll have to deal with it, but there's no excuse. The adrenaline is pumping, the energy is high, and I'm not worried about Sunday's final. Jossina can beat Alcaraz, who is also known as the successor to the 'Big Three', and will become the first host player to retain the Rome Men's Singles Gold Cup since Adriano Panatta in 1976.
The 23-year-old Sinner, who was suspended for three months due to a drug ban scandal, did not make a strong return until the ATP 1,000-point clay Masters, and now the home capital has won five consecutive levels at home, extending the cross-season winning streak to 26 matches. With 4 wins and 6 defeats against Alcaraz in the past, including one on clay, Sinner bluntly said: "If I want to win on Sunday, I need to play my best tennis. Let's wait and see, for me, it's great to be in the final. ”
