The draw for the men's singles at the Internazionali d’Italia has been made, and all eyes are naturally on Jannik Sinner, returning after a three-month suspension related to the Clostebol case. The world number one will be the first Italian in history to enter the court at the Foro Italico as the top ATP ranking player, leading a group of 13 Italian players in the main draw. In his debut, Sinner will face either Argentine player Navone or the young Italian Federico Cinà, born in 2007. The first seed he might face is Spaniard Davidovich Fokina (25), while Frances Tiafoe or Francisco Cerundolo are likely opponents in the round of 16. Rome is a special tournament for Sinner: it was here in 2019 that he secured his first Masters 1000 win against Steve Johnson. Since then, his growth has been steady. This year, the Forum audience hopes to see him succeed. In the same quarter of the draw is Matteo Berrettini, placed in the very first section alongside Sinner, meaning the two could meet in the quarterfinals — a matchup that would ignite the Centrale court. Berrettini will debut against the winner between Fabio Fognini and Britain’s Jacob Fearnley.  After months of pursuing, the Roman tennis player appears to have regained competitive physical form: his best result in Rome remains the quarterfinals in 2020, and he hopes to return at least to that level. Fun fact: it was against Fognini in 2017 that Matteo played his first match at the Foro. On the other side of the draw is Lorenzo Musetti, arriving in Rome as a new Top 10 in the world rankings — a well-deserved recognition for the Tuscan talent, already twice a quarterfinalist at the Foro (2020 and 2022). His first match will be in the second round, against the winner of the clash between Serbia’s Hamad Medjedovic and a qualifier. Musetti has frequently found inspiration on the beloved clay of the Foro Italico: in 2020, he surprised Stan Wawrinka, and his enthusiasm for the tournament has never faded.
