Tournament organisers have released the intended schedule for Jannik Sinner at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome.
The top-seeded Italian will headline the draw at his home ATP Masters 1000 event and is set to begin his campaign on Saturday against Sebastian Ofner. Sinner arrives in Rome riding a 28-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level, having captured the past five titles in the series dating back to Paris last November.
This fortnight, Sinner is aiming to claim his maiden Rome title — the only ATP Masters 1000 trophy still missing from his collection. With a triumph in the Italian capital, the 24-year-old would join Novak Djokovic as just the second man to complete the Career Golden Masters. He would also become the first Italian man since Adriano Panatta in 1976 to lift the Rome singles trophy.

The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, Sinner reached the Rome final last year, when he fell in straight sets to rival Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner holds a 14-6 record at the tournament, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
A nine-time Masters 1000 champion, Sinner is also bidding to become only the seventh man in history to reach double digits in titles at this level, joining fellow ATP No. 1 Club members Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Andy Murray and Pete Sampras.
Main-draw action at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia takes place from 6-17 May at the Foro Italico.
