The organisers have released the full draw for the Rome Masters 1000. The tournament runs from 6 to 17 May. Arthur Fils is currently ranked 17th in the world. The French player will open his campaign on Friday or Saturday. His opponent will be Luca Nardi or a qualifier.

The schedule then points to a meeting with Frances Tiafoe or Lorenzo Sonego. The draw also throws up a possible clash with Jannik Sinner in the round of 16. The Italian sits at No.1 in the world.
