The Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome is in full swing, with some of the biggest names in tennis taking to the court. On Monday, fans can expect to see Cameron Norrie, Daniil Medvedev, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff in action, all live on Sky Sports.

However, two notable British players, Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu, are missing from the tournament this year. Murray is recovering from an ankle injury and is set to return at next week’s ATP Challenger Tour in Bordeaux before playing at the Geneva Open. Raducanu, on the other hand, is planning to compete in Strasbourg and is also entered into qualifying for the French Open.

In the men’s draw, home favorite Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are absent due to injury, while defending women’s champion Elina Rybakina withdrew due to illness.

The Italian Open is the third clay-court ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, held at the iconic Foro Italico in Rome. With top players like Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the mix, the competition promises to be intense.
