The ATP and WTA tours will continue with the Italian Open after the Madrid Open concludes. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will participate in the event, having missed the Madrid Open. Djokovic last competed in the Monte-Carlo Masters, losing to Casper Ruud in the semifinals. Rafael Nadal, who skipped last year’s Italian Open, will also play in Rome.
Daniil Medvedev, winner of last year’s Masters 1000 event, may defend his title in Rome, although he retired from the Madrid Open quarterfinal due to injury. The men’s draw will also feature Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune, Casper Ruud, and other top players. However, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are notably absent.
On the women’s side, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek will headline the tournament. She has won three titles this season, including at the Madrid Open. Swiatek will be joined by World No. 2 and Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, as well as Elene Rybakina, Coco Gauff, Marketa Vondrousova, Ons Jabeur, Naomi Osaka, Maria Sakkari, and Danielle Collins.
Fans can follow the Italian Open through various international broadcasters and streaming platforms, such as Tennis Channel, Sky Sports, beIN Sports, Sony Network, and Eurosport, among others.
