Novak Djokovic knows who he will need to beat in the upcoming Rome Masters to defend his title from last year. Thanks to his ranking, Novak, world number 1 and 1st seed, will miss the 1st round.
In his 1st clash in Rome, the Serbian will face Luca van Assche or Tomas Etcheverry. In the 3rd round potential opponents are Grigor Dimitrov and Stan Wawrinka.
In the 1/8 finals, Nole could face Cameron Norrie or Alex de Minaur, as in the ¼ finals, Holger Rune will probably be waiting for him.
The best-projected opponent for the ½ finals is 4th seed Casper Ruud, but we must include 8th-seeded Jannik Sinner.
In the final in the Italian capital, we can see a battle between Novak Djokovic and number 2 in the world, Carlos Alcaraz, and if the Serbian defends his Rome title, it will be his 7th.
