The men’s qualifiers and some of the women’s first round matches at the 2025 Italian Open will take place on Tuesday, May 6 as Marie Bouzkova, Petra Kvitova and Peyton Stearns take to court. Here’s the day’s schedule for this day of the Italian Open.
Tuesday’s session at the Foro Italico blends ATP qualifying showdowns with the opening salvo of WTA first-round clashes.
On Campo Centrale, rising Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro tests her claycraft against American hard-hitter Ann Li before veteran Petra Kvitová and Irina-Camelia Begu renew their rivalry under the Grand Stand roof.
Wildcards Alycia Parks and Jaqueline Cristian add pop to the midday slot, while Rebecca Sramkova and McCartney Kessler deliver a heavyweight baseline duel.
Qualifiers headline the men’s draw on Grand Stand Arena and Super Tennis Arena, where former Top 10 Pablo Carreño Busta seeks main-draw redemption against Argentina’s Roman Burruchaga, and Sebastian Ofner faces German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann.
Over on Pietrangeli, women’s former top 10 player Maria Sakkari opens against Pole Maja Chwalińska, followed by Italy’s Giorgia Pedone aiming to quiet local hope Lulu Sun.
By afternoon, attention returns to Court 1 and Court 2, where breakthrough names like Cameron Norrie clash with Serbia’s Dušan Lajović, and rookie Emiliana Arango locks horns with Leolia Jeanjean.
The day caps with marquee WTA seeds launching their campaigns—Katie Volynets and Anna Blinkova on Court 14 and Court 15, respectively.
Also taking to court will be former Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova who faces Irina-Camelia Begu.
With Rome’s trademark 25 °C warmth and the scent of orange clay in the air, Day 2 promises sprinting qualifiers, veteran grit, and the first main-draw fireworks of a week that crowns champions come Sunday.
