Where to find your favorite players in Rome during the Internazionali BNL d'Italia

Clay season is going from en fuego to nel fuoco as the tennis calendar shifts from Madrid to Rome—and Tennis Channel is tagging along.

Two more weeks of 1000-level competition will take place at the Foro Italico, the host site of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

Everyone at the top of the men’s and women’s rankings is slated to compete, except for Novak Djokovic who heads to Roland Garros without a clay-court match win this season. This includes the highly-anticipated return of world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in his first tournament since serving the three-month suspension from February's doping case resolution with the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Although the tournament site sits in northern Rome, across River Tiber from Flaminio Quarter, many players opt to reside in the heart of the city near the infamous historical landmarks.

Central Rome is buzzing with tourists during the spring and summer months of the year, and for the next two weeks, our favorite players will be scattered amongst them.

Last year, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka took full advantage of her proximity to Roman history with a view of the Colosseum from her place of residence, not to mention flocking about the streets to attractions and neighborhoods with her team.

Bvlgari Hotel Roma hosted Maria Sakkari in 2024, and Stan Wawrinka was accommodated by Anantara Palazzo Naiadi in recent years as well.

In addition to traversing the capital city in accordance with player whereabouts, there’s plenty of non-tennis experiences to check out in Rome during the tournament.

On Saturday, May 10, Pigneto Quarter is hosting its second annual Quartiere Vino Pigneto, an international winetasting experience throughout the neighborhood. Fifty winemakers from Italy, Spain, France and Slovenia will showcase over 400 natural wine labels to ticketed participants.

Toast the first week of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Pigneto Quarter, and then celebrate the second visiting renowned theaters across Rome.
