Get excited for the Rom Masters 2023! Following the Madrid Open, the next big event on the ATP tennis calendar is the Rom Masters, which runs until May 21 on clay courts.
With Rafael Nadal out due to injury, Carlos Alcaraz is the top favorite for the title. The young Spanish player has had a strong year so far, winning the ATP500 tournament in Barcelona and the Sandplatz-Masters in Madrid. He loves playing on clay and is in great form, making him the player to beat.
Novak Djokovic, the world number two and defending champion, is also a strong contender. He has won the Rom Masters six times before, but missed the Madrid Open due to injury. His fitness remains a question mark, but if he is fully recovered, he could definitely challenge Alcaraz for the title.
Holger Rune, the number seven in the ATP rankings, is another rising star to watch out for. Although he lost to Rublev in the final of the Sandplatz-Masters in Monte Carlo, he recently won the Munich Open and is a clay court specialist.
When it comes to tennis betting odds other players to keep an eye on include Stefanos Tsitsipas, who reached the final in Barcelona but lost to Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner, who made it to the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters but had to withdraw from Barcelona and Madrid due to injury.
While Alexander Zverev is the top-ranked German player, he has struggled since returning from injury and lost to Alcaraz in the Madrid Open. Jan-Lennard Struff, who made it to the final of the Madrid Open as a qualifier, will not be competing in the Rom Masters as he is taking a short break.
