Lucia Bronzetti vs Anastasija Sevastova Preview

Lucia Bronzetti seeks a breakthrough at the Italian Open after failing to win a match in three previous main draw appearances.

Anastasija Sevastova returned to the tour after more than a year of absence due to an ACL injury and immediately made an impact in Madrid.

Bronzetti has struggled with consistency in 2025, but Sevastova’s rustiness and uncertain form make this a far more favorable opportunity for the Italian.

Lucia Bronzetti Overview

Lucia Bronzetti Form

Lucia Bronzetti has had a mixed season but found brief success elsewhere, posting a runner-up finish in Cluj-Napoca and a third round in Indian Wells.

Every campaign in 2025 other than Cluj-Napoca and Indian Wells has ended with first or second-round losses.

Bronzetti is a few steps behind her form in 2024 when she won the title at 125K Contrexéville and reached the semifinals in Monastir and Guangzhou.

She enters Rome with a disappointing 1-3 start on clay this year, including a shock loss to a teenager ranked 291st in the first round of Rouen.

The Italian has yet to win a match in Rome in three attempts, with the latest defeat coming to Sofia Kenin in 2024.

Anastasija Sevastova Overview

Current rank: Unranked
Career high rank: 11
ELO rank: N/A
Season record: 3-2
Rome opening-round record: 3-2
Best tournament result: Third round (2018)

Anastasija Sevastova Form

Anastasija Sevastova made headlines in Madrid with wins over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Jelena Ostapenko, securing her first top-20 victory in four years.

Her momentum was short-lived, however, as she suffered a crushing 6-0, 6-0 defeat to Diana Shnaider in the third round.

Aged 35, she has not been able to play tennis for extended periods over the last three years.

Sevastova was sidelined for 22 months from early 2022 due to maternity hiatus and then again for 13 months from March 2024 due to an ACL injury.

Should she prevail in this match, it would be just her fourth instance of clearing the opening round in Rome, a tournament where she does not have a strong history.

Verdict

Lucia Bronzetti v Anastasija Sevastova

Lucia Bronzetti is still winless in Rome but gets a big chance against returning Anastasija Sevastova, who’s playing her second event after a long injury layoff.

Despite a shaky 2025, Bronzetti may have the edge with home support and a less match-sharp opponent.
