2021 Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome ATP Draw with Djokovic, Nadal, Zverev, Thiem and Tsitsipas

The 2021 Internazionali BNL d'Italia Rome will be held from May 9th - 16th and the star-studded line-up will battle for the title in the Italian capital.

9-time Rome Masters champion Rafael Nadal and 5-time champion from the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, Novak Djokovic will be the biggest favorites to win the title in Rome in 2021. However, Alexander Zverev also triumphed in 2017, and in Madrid, he showed that he can beat also the 'King of Clay' and will be hungry also in Rome.

The top eight seeded players will have a BYE in the first round, and they will be also the biggest favorites to win the tournament. The projected quarterfinals include a matchup between Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev vs. Dominic Thiem in the top half. In the bottom half, Daniil Medvedev should meet Diego Schwartzman while we could see a Madrid Open rematch between Alexander Zverev and Rafael Nadal.

But to get to the quarterfinals, the players will need to fight through a couple of rounds first. The first-seeded Novak Djokovic will await Daniel Evans or Taylor Fritz in the second round. No. 2 in Rome, Rafael Nadal will be playing against the Italian youngster Jannik Sinner or Ugo Humbert in the second round.

Dominic Thiem, who is always one of the biggest favorites on clay will play against Guido Pella or Marton Fucsovics and a dangerous Diego Schwartzman will take on Filip Krajinovic or Felix Auger-Aliassime. Stefanos Tsitsipas who showed a great clay-court form will meet Alexander Bublik or Marin Cilic.

Some of the interesting first-round matches include Fabio Fognini against Kei Nishikori and the aforementioned Jannik Sinner who will take on Ugo Humbert. Matteo Berrettini who is in a great form will play against Nikoloz Basilashvili.
