Tournament Overview

The Italian Open (Internazionali BNL d'Italia) is the men's ATP Masters 1000 event held each May at the Foro Italico in Rome, running alongside the WTA 1000 women's draw on the same clay courts. It is the last big clay-court test before Roland-Garros, and its slower, sea-level conditions make it the most reliable form guide for the French Open of any event on the calendar.

The 2026 edition delivered a landmark result: home favourite Jannik Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in the final to complete the Career Golden Masters, becoming only the second man in history (after Novak Djokovic) to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 titles, and the first Italian champion in Rome since Adriano Panatta in 1976. With a 96-player draw, Rome remains one of the most prestigious stops outside the Grand Slams.
