    Italian Open: Djokovic Returns, Sinner Eyes Historic Sixth Straight Masters Crown As Draws Unveiled

    By IANS News May 04, 2026 • 17:44 PM View: 611
    With Carlos Alcaraz: The draw for the Italian Open has set up an intriguing week of top-tier tennis, with Novak Djokovic making his much-anticipated return from injury and World No. 1 Jannik Sinner leading the charge in pursuit of a record-extending sixth consecutive ATP Masters 1000 title.

    Djokovic, seeded third, returns to competition after missing Madrid due to a lingering physical issue, opting to prioritise readiness ahead of the clay-court Grand Slam season. The six-time Rome champion has been placed in the bottom half and is set to begin his campaign against either a qualifier or Marton Fucsovics. A potential quarterfinal clash against home favourite Lorenzo Musetti could test his rhythm early, while a semifinal meeting with second seed Alexander Zverev is on the cards.

    Zverev, who recently finished runner-up in Madrid, will look to quickly regain momentum. He opens against either Daniel Altmaier or Zhang Zhizhen and could face stern challenges as the tournament progresses, with depth in his section including dangerous floaters and in-form opponents.
