With the draw at Fontana di Trevi, the main draw for the men’s singles at the Internazionali d’Italia takes shape, where both Sinner and Alcaraz, second and third tennis players in the ATP rankings respectively, will be missing due to injury.
The most awaited man is obviously Novak Djokovic. The Serbian phenomenon, number one in the ranking, will take to the field starting from the second round (challenge to one of Safiullin or a qualified player) and on his side of the draw he could find Zverev already in the quarterfinals. Medvedev, reigning champion in Rome, is in the lower part of Rublev’s side (sixth in the ranking).
Potential quarter-finals would feature the following challenges:
- Djokovic-Ruud
- Dimitrov-Zverev
- Rublev-Tsitsipas
- Hurkacz or Nadal-Medvedev.
Musetti, the only seed among the Italians, will take to the field from the second round in which he will face one of Eubanks or the winner of the qualifiers. For Berrettini derby with Napolitano.
Expectation for Rafa Nadal, the most successful tennis player in Rome who will take to the court against a qualified player and then probably face Hurkacz.
