On Sunday, Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz claimed the Italian Open title with a straight two-set victory over world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
The game results were 7-6(5) 6-1 and lasted for an hour and 45 minutes.
Rome Open was Alcaraz's first tournament since withdrawing from the Madrid Open with muscle injuries.
The 22-year-old said after his victory: "I'm just really, really happy to get my first Rome [title].
"I hope it's not going to be the last one. I'm really happy to see Jannik back at this amazing level. It wasn’t easy for him, coming from three months without playing, and in the first one he plays, making the final for a Masters 1000 here in Rome is something insane.
"I have to congratulate him for a great week. I'm just super happy to see him around again. I’m proud; proud of myself, about the way that I approached the game mentally. Tactically, I did pretty well. I didn't [want] a rollercoaster, so I maintained my good level during the whole match. I’m really, really proud about everything I've done today."
