Italian Open Begins as Stars Prepare for Roland-Garros
The clay-court action continues this week with the Italian Open, where top players like Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, and Carlos Alcaraz will be looking to fine-tune their form ahead of the French Open later this month. Notably absent from the Rome tournament is Novak Djokovic, who has opted to skip the event.
Sinner returns to competition under intense scrutiny, marking his first appearance since serving a three-month doping ban. On the women’s side, Emma Raducanu will also draw attention as she begins her campaign under the guidance of new coach Mark Petchey. She’s set to face Australian qualifier Maya Joint in the opening round this afternoon.
