The Italian Open, sometimes referred to as the Rome Masters or Internazionali BNL d'Italia, is held every year at Rome's Foro Italico Tennis Center. It's usually one of the glitziest tennis events of the year, a jamboree of food, fashion and celebrity, but this year's will be ever-so-slightly toned down because of you-know-what.
Nadal beat Djokovic in last year's men's singles final to clinch his ninth Italian Open title, and both players are back on the court in Rome this week. Djokovic will be desperate to put his expulsion from the US Open last week behind him, while Nadal will be raring to get some competitive action in his legs, having opted against participating in New York.
The WTA side of the competition is bursting with contenders, including a resurgent Victoria Azarenka and Sloane Stevens, who were so impressive at Flushing Meadows this month. 2019 runner-up Johanna Konta is also involved, and will be looking to put in a better showing than she managed in New York.
