Internazionali BNL d'Italia 2026 preview and where to watch
The Internazionali BNL d'Italia returns to Rome, Italy for its 2026 edition, played from 6–17 May on Clay.
What's at stake
This is a Masters 1000 / WTA 1000 event — 1,000 ranking points to each singles winner, mandatory for the top of the rankings, and the second tier of importance after the Slams. A title here can lift a player twenty rungs up the rankings.
The Internazionali BNL d'Italia starts in 7 days. The draw lands a few days before the first ball is struck — we'll publish the bracket here as soon as it's set.
The conditions
Clay is the slowest surface on tour — the ball sits up, points get longer, and the bigger your topspin, the more you control the rally. At Rome, expect heavy court coverage to count more than raw power.
Topspin baseliners and movers tend to dominate clay events of this size. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm — watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
