Casper Ruud Faces Matteo Berrettini in Thrilling Third Round Match

Rome, Italy — The third round of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia wraps up on Monday, featuring a highly anticipated matchup between Casper Ruud and Matteo Berrettini. The match is set to take place at 3:00 PM on the Campo Centrale.
Casper Ruud, a two-time French Open finalist and reigning champion from Madrid, has recently found his stride on clay. The world No. 7, who won his first Masters 1000 title two weeks ago, looks to carry his momentum into this clash. Ruud has a 22-6 win-loss record in 2025 and has displayed superior form as he gears up for Roland Garros.
Matteo Berrettini, despite being more adept on grass, poses a challenge for Ruud. With a career total of six clay titles, the Italian is known for his strong performances on this surface. The two players have faced each other seven times before, with Ruud holding a 4-3 advantage, although Berrettini won their last meeting at the United Cup in 2023.
In another match on Monday, American Tommy Paul will face Czech Tomas Machac at 11:00 AM on the SuperTennis Arena. Paul, who reached the third round after defeating Roberto Bautista Agut, has a 5-2 record on clay this year and aims to capitalize on his experience against Machac, who is also seeking to establish himself on the ATP Tour.
This third round lineup promises to deliver exciting tennis, with fans eager to see how the matches unfold.
