The ATP Tour and WTA touch down in the Italian capital this week, as tennis’ elite descend on Rome for 2015’s Italian Open. 

After pulling out of last week’s Madrid Masters for some well-deserved rest, Novak Djokovic is back in action and looking to defend his title.   

The world No. 1 has emerged victorious in three Rome Masters championships down the years, but he will have a tough task chalking up No. 4 with a talented field to negotiate.

Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal in a thrilling final last time around, but the Spaniard, who has won the Italian Open seven times, will be motivated to get his title back and spurred on by an excellent performance in Madrid. Nadal will come in as fourth seed in the bottom half of the draw, which could set up a gripping semi-final against Roger Federer.

The Swiss star has struggled on clay this year—bowing out early in Madrid and Monte Carlo—but comes into the tournament with a point to prove.

Federer has won endless trophies in his time, but the Italian Open crown still eludes him.

On the women's side, Serena Williams is the prohibitive favorite as the two-time reigning champion. Until someone dethrones Williams, she's obviously the player to beat.

Maria Sharapova won the two years before Williams' current hold on the trophy and has really stepped up on clay in recent years. Perhaps Sharapova can bounce back from a semifinals loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova in Madrid.

Read on for daily scores, recaps and draw from what’s set to be a thrilling Rome Masters.
