The ATP tournament in Rome takes place in a unique setting which is that of Foro Italico, with its famous Nicola Pietrangeli Stadium court with 4,000 seats surrounded by statutes, in addition to the Center Court (10,500 seats), the Grand Stand Arena (5 500 places) and 11 additional courts. The first edition of this tournament took place in 1930, becoming an open in 1969. It was in 2009 that this competition entered the Masters 1000 category, the second biggest after the Grand Slams. This Masters 1000 in Rome takes place on clay outdoors, and, like the Masters 1000 in Madrid, it is a perfect rehearsal to refine its ranges a few days before the start of Roland-Garros. This is particularly why the set was once again very interesting this year: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, Dominic Thiem,Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and many others participated in this edition.
