ATP Rome - Day 3 (Round 1 & 2)

Day 3: Tennis Beneath the Marble Statues

On 7 May 2027, round one and round two overlap: as the last first-round matches finish, the next round is already underway. The backdrop is not just Center Court but the Foro Italico's entire historic ensemble.

A stadium from another era

Right next to the tennis courts stands the Stadio dei Marmi, inaugurated in 1932 and lined with 60 larger-than-life marble statues once donated by Italy's provinces. Few tournaments in the world are played in such a distinctive architectural setting.

Two rounds in a single day

The overlap of rounds one and two makes for a packed schedule — ideal for anyone hoping to catch as many different players as possible in a single visit.

Rome tip: a walk through the Foro Italico

Before or after the matches, take time to explore the grounds themselves: the mosaics, the marble obelisk at the entrance and the statues all tell the site's nearly hundred-year history.

• Rounds 1 and 2 overlap
