Rome is traditionally playing much slower than Madrid, and this year with the weather forecast, it will probably be even more true!
2023 Rome Open could be in jeopardy amid ominous weather forecasts
Tennis NewsTuesday, 09 May 2023 at 14:00
Compared to the Madrid Open which saw only one or two days impacted by rain, the 2023 Rome Open could see the whole tournament decimated by the weather.
Taking place between May 9-21st, there are persistent downpours from Wednesday onwards with 85% chance meaning play is unlikely.
This continues from Thursday to the following Tuesday. The situation will not be improving and even Foro Italico, the main court not having a roof, which furthers the issues.
Similar to the Fayez Sarofim & Co US Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, play may not be likely until late next week by that time, a lot of matches will need to be completed.
Also, this is compounded by the fact that Roland Garros is due to start shortly after meaning a short turnaround for players and their teams to head to France if the tournament does get delayed.
