2023 Italian Open Rome TV Guide: How to watch penultimate tournament before Roland Garros
Tennis News
The 2023
Internazionali BNL d'Italia (Italian Open) will be held between May 10th and May 21st, and it
is the last Masters 1000 tournament and penultimate tournament before the
French Open.
This year,
the tournament in Rome will feature a 96-player draw for the first time, and it
will last for one and a half weeks. On the men's side, Novak Djokovic will return
to the court after missing Madrid due to injury. The big absentee is Rafael
Nadal, who has won the Italian trophy 10 times and remains uncertain about his
return to the court shortly before the start of the French Open.
Carlos
Alcaraz is also among the favorites, as he looks to dethrone 'Nole' as world
No. 1, which would happen if Djokovic wins the trophy. Other top players
include Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev and Holger Rune, along with the
return of local player Jannik Sinner, who has been out with an injury since the
Barcelona Open.
The WTA
will feature the world's best tennis players, with the exception of the
suspended Simona Halep and Alja Tomljanovic due to injury. The tournament is
led by favorites Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, who could be joined by
Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Elena Rybakina.
Rome will
also see the return of several important players who have been absent from
major tournaments, including Elina Svitolina, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Barbora
Strycova, and Nadia Podoroska.
