Italian Open: Alcaraz, Sinner Drawn On Opposite Sides As World No.1 Returns After Suspension
Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli: World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will open against Mariano Navone or wild card Federico Cina at the clay-court ATP Masters 1000 Italian Open, following Monday’s draw ceremony in Rome. The 23-year-old will be playing just his second tournament of the year, after winning the Australian Open in January, and his first since completing three months of ineligibility in a case resolution agreement with WADA.
Should Sinner and World No.3 Carlos Alcaraz reignite their gripping rivalry at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, it must come in the championship match after having been drawn on opposite sides of the bracket as per the ATP.
Sinner could face a potential quarterfinal clash with Madrid champion Casper Ruud, whom the Italian leads 3-0 in their ATP head-to-head series. Fresh from claiming his maiden Masters 1000 title, Ruud will start against Roman Safiullin or Alexander Bublik in Rome.
