Here’s the latest I can share about the Rome tennis events in 2026.
-
The Internazionali BNL d’Italia (the Rome Open) 2026 is scheduled to be held at the Foro Italico, with dates around late April to mid-May 2026. This edition continues the tournament’s tradition as a key clay-court lead-up to Roland Garros.[1][2]
-
On the ATP side, Jannik Sinner was highlighted as a headline name, with Carlos Alcaraz injured and Novak Djokovic less certain to participate, positioning Sinner as a strong title favorite for Rome 2026.[2][3]
-
On the WTA side, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek were among the top contenders, with Jasmine Paolini defending the title from 2025, and Elena Rybakina and other top players also anticipated to compete.[5][7][2]
-
A notable development for 2026 was the opening of a new SuperTennis Arena at the Foro Italico to enhance spectator experience, along with ancillary events like a training court at Piazza del Popolo to broaden fan engagement.[1]
