TennisNow writer Chris Oddo joins for a chat on the podcast about The 2025 Italian Open, headlined by the return of ATP World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Oddo evaluates Sinner's level of play, and examines whether Carlos Alcaraz can hold a firm advantage over his rival on the clay. The journalist also covers Lorenzo Musetti's exceptional play on home soil, Alexander Zverev's continued struggles, and American Tommy Paul's breakthrough in Rome.

Oddo also dives into the women's tournament, where Coco Gauff defeated Mirra Andreeva yet again to emerge as a clear favorite at Roland Garros. The TennisNow writer discusses Jasmine Paolini's thrilling run to the final, Peyton Stearns tenacious competitive drive, and whether Qinwen Zheng's victory over Aryna Sabalenka will shake up the landscape heading into Paris. Oddo also analyzes what has gone wrong for Iga Swiatek in 2025, and how parting ways with Andy Murray will impact Novak Djokovic's quest for a 25th major title. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
