One of the great stops on the clay court tour, set in such a historic and privileged environment. This is the Foro Itálico, the ideal stage for the ATP Masters 1000 Rome 2026 and the WTA 1000 Rome 2026. The cream of the world's tennis talent gathers at the last major event before Roland Garros 2026, and we'll tell you all you need to know.

Tennis at its finest. Elegance, history, an eternal legacy, a devoted audience, and many mysteries to unravel. All of this will be experienced at the Rome tournament from Tuesday, May 5, to Sunday, May 17. Two weeks of pure spectacle where the world's best racquets will meet at the Foro Itálico. With Jannik Sinner as the clear favorite in his home country due to Alcaraz's absence and uncertainty surrounding the presence of Novak Djokovic, there will be various focal points of interest and aspects to analyze before the event kicks off.

Here's all you need to know about the Rome 2026 tournament

Schedule and Timings

Similar to Madrid, the women's draw will start before the men's, with women's matches commencing on Tuesday, May 5, and men's matches on Wednesday, May 6. Each round will be played over two days until reaching the round of 16, which, for women, will be played on Monday, May 11, and for men, on Tuesday, May 12.

Women's semifinals will be on Thursday, May 14, and men's on Friday, May 15. Both finals will take place at 5:00 pm; the women's on Saturday, May 16, and the men's on Sunday, May 17. Note that from Wednesday, May 5, to Friday, May 15, each day will have a day session (starting at 11:00 am) and a night session (starting at 7:00 pm) on the Campo Centrale.

Draws and When the Favorites Play

It's important to note that both the men's and women's singles draws consist of 96 players in 128 spots, with 32 seeds exempt from the first round. This means the top players in the world will start in the second round, with their potential debut days being Thursday, May 7, and Friday, May 8, for women, and Friday, May 8, and Saturday, May 9, for men. The draws will be held on Monday, May 4, with the timing yet to be confirmed, although last year it was at 12:00 local time.

Prize Money and ATP & WTA Ranking Points

The prize money at the Rome tournament is the same as at the Mutua Madrid Open. Both men and women earn equal amounts, with the champion's prize exceeding one million dollars, and seeing increases of around 2% in all rounds compared to last year's prizes.

Top Favorites for the Title

This could be the perfect opportunity for Jannik Sinner to reign at home and claim one of the major titles left for him. The big question is whether Novak Djokovic will play, as the Serbian could be a major alternative to the power embodied by the Italian, whose main rival might be the accumulated physical and mental fatigue from the intense past few months. Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, or Lorenzo Musetti are also contenders for a significant impact, while there will be great anticipation for what Joao Fonseca and Rafael Jódar can achieve.

Regarding the women's draw, Aryna Sabalenka is expected to arrive filled with ambition to redeem herself from the early defeat in Madrid. Iga Swiatek will also have much to prove, needing rhythm and confidence heading into Roland Garros, while other contenders will include Elena Rybakina, Cori Gauff, and Mirra Andreeva.
