The 2026 Italian Open will conclude on Sunday with championship titles on the line. Several big names will take to the courts in what promises to be a thrilling finale at the Foro Italico. After Elina Svitolina won the women’s final over Coco Gauff on Saturday, now it’s the turn of Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud, and Mirra Andreeva to have the climax of their campaign in Rome on Sunday. With that, let’s take a look at the May 17 schedule for the Italian Open.
Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud & More: Italian Open Final Match Details
Top-seeded home favorite Sinner will look to capture the ultimate prize at Campo Centrale against Ruud. Sinner survived an eventful, rain-delayed, three-set battle against Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals, closing it out on Saturday morning while feeding off the electrifying energy of the Italian crowd. The world No. 1 is aiming to become the first Italian man to raise the singles trophy in Rome since Adriano Panatta in 1976.
On the other side of the net, Norway’s 23rd-seeded Ruud arrives at the final after a dominant 6-1, 6-1 victory over Italian Luciano Darderi in his semifinal. Ruud, utilizing his extensive Masters 1000 experience, will look to spoil the hometown party and claim the prestigious clay-court crown.
Sunday’s highly touted men’s final follows a dramatic conclusion of the women’s singles tournament on Saturday. Seventh seed Svitolina captured her third Rome title, completing her dream post-maternity comeback run by defeating third-seeded Gauff. While the American fought valiantly through intense emotional and physical battles all week, the 31-year-old Ukrainian’s free-swinging, ‘nothing to lose’ mentality ultimately gave the veteran the edge she needed to best the 22-year-old on the Italian clay.
Before the men’s singles main event, championship Sunday will feature two massive doubles finals. The Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori will aim to secure a hometown victory in the ATP doubles final against the heavy-hitting, second-seeded team of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
Kicking off the day, the women’s doubles final will see the unseeded pairing of Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider take on the seventh-seeded team of Cristina Bucsa and Nicole Melichar-Martinez.
