Today's program has been drawn up with many questions due to the very strong risk of rain on the capital. The day at the Forum starts immediately with the great tennis players: on the center the Serbian Novak Djokovic seeded number 1 will meet the number 13 seed Cameron Norrie. Immediately afterwards the women will take the field, quarterfinal between Veronica Kudermetova and Qinwen Zheng. Following, weather permitting, the match that the Roman public is eagerly awaiting, Jannik Sinner and Francisco Cerundolo will clash in a challenging quarter for our blue.

Many of yesterday's challenges have not ended and will be finished today. Among these is the one between Lorenzo Sonego and Stefanos Tsitsipas, interrupted after the victory of the first set by the Greek (6-3). First set in which the service of the two tennis players worked until the sixth game, when Sonego conceded a break ball, immediately exploited by Tsitsipas. Sonego then cancelled out three more break balls, but the Greek closed at 6-3.

The German Hanfmann, who defeated the Italian Cecchinato, will take the field against Andrey Rublev. The Russian struggled to beat Davidovich Fokina. In the first set Rublev squandered the break advantage and then in the tie-break he canceled three set points, before bringing home the match at the third attempt (ends 10-8 a beautiful tie-break). The Spaniard collapsed in the third set and the Russian closed with a clear 6-3.
