The Rome Masters 1000 has published this Monday the ‘entry list’ of the tournament which will be held at the Foro Italico in the Italian capital between May 6 and 19. A list without big surprises, beyond the appearance of Rafa Nadal, who enters with a protected ranking, like the Canadian Denis Shapovalov.
The Spaniard, who has given up participating in the Monte Carlo tournament, being played this week, has on his roadmap to compete in Barcelona, Madrid and finally in Rome, before Roland Garros, although his presence in the Spanish tournaments is moment in doubt due to his physical problems. Rome is one of the Manacor tennis player’s favorite settings, where it has been imposed on ten occasionsthe last one in 2021.
Nadal has more room to recover ahead of the Italian event, which will have an extensive representation of the Top-10, with Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz like big claims. The current champion, Daniil Medvedev, will not be missing either.to complete the presence of the top four in the ATP ranking.
The local representation will be made up of Lorenzo Musetti (24), Matteo Arnaldi (38), Lorenzo Sonego (57), Flavio Cobolli (63), Luciano Darderi (64) and Luca Nardi. A large group that will be led by a Sinner who is participating for the sixth time in Rome and could hit number one at home. A scene of good memories for the one from San Cándido, who won his first victory in a Masters 1000 here in 2019, in a duel against Steve Johnson.
The German Alexander Zverer, the Russian Andrei Rublev, the Danish Holger Rune, finalist in 2023, and the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, recent champion in Estoril, also stand out in the Roman main draw, for which the wild-cards have yet to be awarded.
In a Spanish key, in addition to Alcaraz and Nadal, Alejandro Davidovich, Roberto Bautista and Albert Ramos They will seek to progress on the clay of the legendary Foro Italico.
