Rome Masters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rome Masters is an annual tennis tournament held in Rome, Italy. The men's competition is an ATP Masters Series event on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour. The women's competition is a Tier 1 event on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour. The two competitions are currently held in separate weeks in the April-May period. The tournament is played on clay courts. The event was previously known as the Italian Open. Its current official name is Internazionali d'Italia.

The Italian tennis championship was first held in 1930 in Milan, where it was played until 1934 before being moved to the Foro Italico in Rome in 1935. No event was held between 1936 and 1949. The competition resumed in 1950. It became an "Open" event in 1969.

Many people consider the Rome Masters to be the second most prestigious clay court tennis tournament in the world after the French Open.
