ATP Rome - Day 6 (Round 1 & 2)

Day 6: The Early Rounds Draw to a Close

10 May 2027 wraps up the tournament's first half: the last matches of rounds one and two are played, and the field that started with 96 players per draw is whittled down to a fraction of that number.

From 96 down to a quarter of the field

With round two complete, the main draw — 96 players per gender since 2023 — has been cut to 24 in each event. Anyone still standing has already survived two rounds on Rome's demanding clay.

The turn towards the business end

From Day 7 onward, matches feature bigger names and a tighter schedule on the show courts. Day 6 is therefore the last day in the familiar rhythm of the tournament's early phase.

Rome tip: Ponte Milvio at sunset

An evening stroll across the Ponte Milvio, just a few minutes' walk from the Foro Italico, makes for a peaceful way to close out a long day of tennis by the Tiber.

• Last day of rounds 1 and 2
• Main draw narrows from 96 to 24 players per event
