The 2024 Italian Open draw is out, and main draw action will get underway on Wednesday, May 8th, at yet another 12-day Masters 1000 tournament. Ahead of the draw, Carlos Alcaraz and home favourite Jannik Sinner were forced to withdraw. The Spaniard is still not over his forearm injury, which kept him out of Monte Carlo and Barcelona and hampered him in Madrid. Sinner has a right hip injury that worsened during the three matches he played in the Spanish capital, and he’s revealed that an MRI scan found an issue he needs to manage carefully. World number two stated in his press conference that the French Open could also be in doubt, but this could be PR talk to ensure the Italian public doesn’t just think he’s skipping Rome to guarantee his fitness for Paris. You can see the 2024 Rome Masters draw below, a quick breakdown of each section, and the likely outcomes.
