Lorenzo Sonego has made a great start to the 2021 season with his consistent performances throughout. The Italian has however been on a different game level since the start of Clay season winning both the Singles and Doubles event in his homeland at the Cagliari Open 2021. He comes to Rome from Monaco where he lost out to Alexander Zverev in the R32.

Gael Monfils is back on the tour after nearly 3 months out of action due to injuries and will play the 3rd tournament of the season and his first on Clay in 2021.
