The Italian Open, which is last of the ATP 1000 Masters events before Roland Garros, gets underway at Rome's Foro Italico on Wednesday, May 7.
All eyes will be on the return World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who will be making his first appearance since completing his three-month doping ban. Chasing his first title at the home tournament, Sinner opens his campaign wild card Federico Cina.
Carlos Alcaraz is also back in action after missing the Madrid Masters due to an adductor injury.
The most high profile absentee at the clay event is former champion Novak Djokovic, who hasn't really got going this season. The 37-year-old has lost two second-round matches in a row and is taking a break before he gets into gear for the French Open.
The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all you need to know to ensure you don't miss a minute of the action.
