In what will be the final French Open tune-up tournament for many of the top players in the world, the 2014 Rome Masters, otherwise known as Internazionali BNL d'Italia, is the second-most-famous clay event behind Roland Garros.

The tournament will take place at Foro Italico in Rome, and this event is about so much more than just tennis. In one of the cultural capitals of the world, the best tennis players in the game will perform in front of the high-fashion Italian crowds.

On the men’s side, the field is absolutely stacked. Seven-time champion Rafael Nadal will come into the event as the favorite, but he will have to beat the likes of Novak Djokovic, Stanislas Wawrinka, Roger Federer, David Ferrer, Tomas Berdych and Andy Murray.

That is an incredibly tough road to another title.

After beating Kei Nishikori in the finals of the Madrid Open, Nadal told BBC Sport about his opponent’s injury:

I'm sorry for him. When you suffer something like that, it's really tough. I suffered a similar situation in Australia this year. So I know what I'm talking about and how bitter it is, especially when you're playing an important match.

On the women’s side, defending tournament champion Serena Williams will be the focus for many fans. After withdrawing from the Madrid Open with leg issues, how Williams performs heading into the French Open will be important.

The women’s field is just as intense as the men’s, though. Not only will Williams be looking for another tourney victory, but former champion Maria Sharapova will also join Li Na, Sloane Stephens, Ana Ivanovic, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova in their attempt to win the title.

With both the men’s and women’s tournaments filled with Grand Slam hopefuls looking to build momentum heading into the French Open later in May, the Rome Masters should live up to the lofty expectations.
