There are no Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner but today’s match is one of the most interesting Italian internationals, ready to go down in history. The last probably of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic still looking for their first victory this year, there is also a lot of anticipation for the Italians with Matteo Berrettini looking for redemption and several young people – see Lorenzo Musetti and Luca Nardi – ready to demonstrate their talent .
There are many Italians in the draw, let’s go and see the draw for the men’s draw together, starting from the first round. For Novak Djokovic a possible Fourth against Casper Ruud, rematch of the Monte-Carlo match where the Norwegian prevailed.
Possibly possible semi-final against one of Zverev and Dimitrov while the number two seed and reigning champion Daniil Medvedev will face Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals. Very interesting possible fourth between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev, winners respectively in Monte-Carlo and Madrid, a tournament that could still see them as protagonists.
One of the most anticipated was needless to say Rafael Nadal who will face a qualifier in the first round and then Hubert Hurkacz in the second round, immediately an important seed for him with Rafa who also has Rune on his side and who could possibly catch Medvedev in the quarter-finals. the final.
Immediately Italian derby for Matteo Berrettini who will face Stefano Napolitano in the first round and possibly face the Frenchman Ugo Humbert. Difficult debut also for Arnaldi who will face the Czech Machac, possible second round against Nicolas Jarry.
Another derby between Matteo Gigante and Giulio Zeppieri in the second round and the winner will face Francisco Cerundolo instead. Not a bad draw for Lorenzo Musetti who will face the winner between Eubanks and a possible qualifier, possible third round instead against Grigor Dimitrov.
Instead, Fabio Fognini faces a challenge against Daniel Evans, a draw full of Italians. Here is the scoreboard at the Rome Internationals:
