According to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, Sinner owns a 9-5 record in Rome. He is a four-time ATP Masters 1000 champion.
The first seeded opponent Sinner could face is 25th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Sixth seed Casper Ruud, the Madrid champion, is a potential quarter-final opponent for the Italian.
