The draw of the WTA1000 in Rome is out and some top players got squeezed in a rather small part of its section. 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu will face 2019 US Open champion Bianca Vanessa Andreescu in the first round. The winner between Emma and Bianca will face the winner between 2018 and 2020 US Open champions Naomi Osaka and Sara Sorribes Tormo. Curiously, Naomi and Sara have just played against each other in Madrid, where the Spaniard won 6-3 6-1.

After taking a small break, the world no.1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek is finally back to competitions.

This is the main draw.
