Atp rome 2023

It’s been a minute since the ATP’s top two players, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, were in the same draw. In fact, Rome will be the first time that it’s happened in 2023. While the third major contender for Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal, won’t be in action this week, this expanded, 96-player event should still serve as a revealing and entertaining dress rehearsal for the season’s second Grand Slam. Djokovic and Alcaraz have met just once, and it was a classic. (Watch the highlights above.) What are the chances we see round two from them in Rome next Sunday? Here’s a look at the First Quarter Djokovic is No. 1 in the world, and he won the year’s only major, but it’s hard to know what kind of form we’ll see from him over the next 10 days. He has played just three tournaments since Australia, hasn’t reached a final, and is 2-2 during the clay season so far. Historically, Rome, where he’s a six-time champion, is where Djokovic kicks his clay game into gear, and where he focuses most of his Roland Garros preparation. Which means there’s a lot at stake for him right now. The first seed Djokovic could face is Grigor Dimitrov; he may play either Cam Norrie or Alex de Minaur in the round of 16; and his quarterfinal opponent could be Holger Rune. If Djokovic wants and needs a test, he should get it. • Also here: Felix Auger-Aliassime, Sebastian Korda • First-round match to watch: Andy Murray vs. Fabio Fognini Semifinalist: Djokovic Second Quarter The top two seeds in this section ...

After the start of the final was delayed by one hour and 40 minutes due to rain, the 27-year-old came out and produced a consistent, clean-hitting display. He sat deep behind the baseline and absorbed pressure on the red clay in Rome and twice rallied from a break down in the second set against the seventh seed Rune, who was aiming to win his second Masters 1000 title. Medvedev had never won a match in three previous appearances in Rome before this season. He produced some of his best clay-court tennis in the Italian capital, though, also defeating 2017 champion "I always want to believe in myself and I always want to win the biggest tournaments in the world," said Medvedev, who dropped just one set en route to the title. "But at the same time, I didn't think I could win a Masters 1000 on clay in my career because usually I hated it, I hated playing on it. I didn't feel good on it and nothing was working. "Before this tournament already in Madrid and Monte-Carlo I wasn't feeling too bad. I thought, 'OK, let's continue'. Then when I came here I felt so good in practice and I told my coach, 'I don't know what is happening but I am feeling amazing, so let's see how it goes'. But then you have to play the toughest opponents in the world to try to make it. I am really happy I managed to do it and to prove to myself and everyone else that I am capable of doing it." Superb forehand display from Daniil today! 🤩 Medvedev has clinched a Tour-leading five titles this season, includin...
