All you need to know ahead of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome including draws, dates, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek, but where are Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray?
The third clay-court ATP Masters 1000 event of the season will see the world’s best players compete at the Masters 1000 tennis tournament, held at the iconic Foro Italico.
World No 1 Novak Djokovic returns to action in preparation for the French Open, with ‘King of Clay’ Rafael Nadal hoping to continue building up to Roland Garros at the tournament where he is a 10-time champion.
Djokovic opted to miss the Madrid Open and has only played one clay tournament in Monte Carlo, where he made the semi-finals.
Spaniard Nadal started his clay comeback in Barcelona, losing in the second round, and then played in Madrid, where he made the last 16 before losing to Jiri Lehecka in an emotional farewell.
Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, former two-time champion Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber make up a strong women’s draw.
However, home favourite Jannik Sinner (hip), Carlos Alcaraz (forearm) and Brits Raducanu and Murray will not be taking part in the Italian capital this year but Murray has been practising on clay as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury.
