The Italian has yet to play a match on clay this year but has an 85-38 career record on the surface. He hasn&#8217;t played since January but is 7-0 on the season, winning the Australian Open in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s been a while since Carlos Alcaraz hasn&#8217;t been the favourite to win an ATP event, but the return of Sinner slightly reduced his chances. Many could argue, though, that the Spaniard is the best in the world on clay \u2014 his 150-36 record on the surface strongly backs that up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alexander Zverev has been active this year, accumulating a 21-8 record with an ATP 500 title in Munich on clay. He&#8217;s also the reigning Italian Open champ and has his best winning percentage on the surface (70.5%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Casper Ruud fought through injury to win the Madrid Open earlier in the month. The 26-year-old is a bit of a clay specialist, playing 53.8% of his matches on the surface with a 70.2% win rate. Can he win back-to-back titles heading into Roland-Garros?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Men&#8217;s players<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Odds to win<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jannik Sinner<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023627985?coupon=combination|3731865816|0|replace\">+225<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Carlos Alcaraz <\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023627985?coupon=combination|3731865774|0|replace\">+250<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alexander Zverev<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023627985?coupon=combination|3731865822|0|replace\">+600<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Casper Ruud<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023627985?coupon=combination|3731865813|0|replace\">+800<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Holger Rune<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/event\/1023627985?coupon=combination|3731865812|0|replace\">+1,000<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>See all Italian Open 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/tennis\"><strong>odds, matchups and betting markets<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canadians at the Italian Open<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Felix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo are the three Canadian men in the tournament. We&#8217;ll take a look at each player&#8217;s outlook going into the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Auger-Aliassime had an amazing start to 2025 but has fallen out of form in recent events. He&#8217;s now 17-11 on the season and a more worrisome 0-4 on clay. He hasn&#8217;t made it past the round of 32 in six straight events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shapovalov, unlike his Canadian counterpart, has a win on clay this year, but his 1-3 record on the surface isn&#8217;t any prettier. He&#8217;s had a losing record on clay for three straight years and is on pace for a fourth consecutive season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Despite his 18-14 record, Diallo might be in the best form of any Canadian. He once again got into an event as a &#8216;lucky loser&#8217; and he made the most of it. The 23-year-old reached the quarterfinal in Madrid and also had the biggest win of his career over No. 15-ranked Grigor Dimitrov.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tournament schedule and key dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>May 7<\/strong>: Round of 128<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 9<\/strong>: Round of 64 begins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 11<\/strong>: Round of 32<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 13<\/strong>: Round of 16<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 14<\/strong>: Italian Open quarters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 16:<\/strong> Italian Open semis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>May 18<\/strong>: Italian Open finals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tennis season is in full swing, and it&#8217;s time for the Italian Open.
