Rome, May 9, 2025 – A Saturday at Foro Italico everything to live. The Italian Internationals they are getting into full swing and May 10th will be the date to mark on your calendar, because it is the date of Jannik's return to the field after three months Sinner. The world number one, having served his suspension, makes his debut at the tournament Roma with a view of Roland Garros, against the red specialist Mariano Navona, who eliminated the youngster in the first round China. First test for Jannik who will have to rediscover the sensations of the court after the victory at the Australian Open on Australian cement. Then, the plea bargain with Wada and the three-month stoppage without losing the number one position in the ranking. But not only Sinner, because also Berrettini will test his condition after the retreat in Madrid (against Fearnley who beat Fognini), while at the end of the program Nardi e Giant. In the women's draw, a match not to be missed between Jasmine paolini and former top five Ons Jaber.
