Alison Riske comes to Italy from a first round defeat at the recently concluded 2021 Tenerife Ladies Open losing to Croatia’s Donna Vekic in straight-sets. Riske was the runner-up at the 2021 Portoroz Open but since then has failed to go past the 2nd round in the 3 tournaments she has played since then.

Ankita Raina enters the main-draw as the lucky loser after top-seeded Ons Jabeur had to withdraw from the tournament because of an injury concern in her elbow. The Indian last played in the main-draw of a WTA event at the 2021 Nottingham Open and has mostly been defeated in the final qualifying rounds.
