Italian Open Quarterfinals Filled With Upsets

The 2025 Italian Open has reached the quarterfinal stage with several major upsets and standout performances. In the men's draw, Alexander Zverev will face Lorenzo Musetti, Carlos Alcaraz will take on Jack Draper, and Jannik Sinner, continuing his undefeated season, meets Francisco Cerundolo. American Tommy Paul is the last U.S. man remaining after defeating Alex de Minaur and will play Hubert Hurkacz, whose strong serve poses a threat despite limited clay experience. On the women's side, Peyton Stearns shocked former World No. 1 Naomi Osaka and will next face clay-court specialist Elina Svitolina. Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva, both in excellent form, are set for a highly anticipated quarterfinal, while Iga Swiatek's early exit has left the women's field open for new favorites like Aryna Sabalenka. The tournament has been marked by dramatic matches, unexpected results, and a shifting roster of title contenders.
