- Ruud praised Sinner’s performance as "as near as perfect that I witnessed" and "next-level," while Sinner said he never experienced something like this in a match.
- Sinner is striving to be the first Italian male player to capture the Rome championship since Adriano Panatta achieved the feat in 1976, with the tournament serving as an important preparation ahead of the French Open beginning May 25.
