The Rome
Open will be the final ATP and WTA 1000 event on clay and will serve as the
ultimate test for the world's top tennis players before the French Open. The
Italian Open will take place from May 6th to May 19th, 2024 at the Foro
Italico.
The
tournament will feature the presence of the 10-times champion
Rafael Nadal and
the 6-times champion
Novak Djokovic. From 2005 to the present, only three times
has another player won the title:
Andy Murray (2016),
Alexander Zverev (2017),
and
Daniil Medvedev (2023). The Russian defeated Holger Rune in last year's
final (7-5, 7-5), marking his only title on clay so far.
On the
women's side, the current champion is
Elena Rybakina, who defeated Anhelina
Kalinina in the final (6-4, 1-0, ret.). Previously,
Iga Swiatek had won the
title twice and will be the top favorite for the tournament, which has also
been won by players such as
Elina Svitolina (2017, 2018),
Karolina Pliskova
(2019), and
Simona Halep (2020).
With a main
draw of 96 players in both men's and women's singles, the top seeds will
receive a bye in the first round, similar to tournaments like the Madrid Open
or Indian Wells.
Rybakina lifts the trophy at the 2023 Rome Open.
