The singles draw for the 2026 Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome has been revealed and we now know the path that Jannik Sinner will have to take to win what would be a record sixth consecutive major title.
He is carrying a 28-match Masters 1000 winning streak and would break Novak Djokovic’s record by reaching the semifinals at the Foro Italico.
Sinner, who became the first player to ever win the first four Masters titles of a single season on Sunday with his 6-1, 6-2 drubbing of Alexander Zverev, will compete to complete the cycle of nine different Masters 1000 titles during the Rome fortnight.
Only Novak Djokovic has achieved that feat before, and he has done it twice.
Waiting for Sinner in Rome will be a second-round matchup with either Sebastian Ofner or Alex Michelsen. Here is the rest of Sinner’s past to the title, if the seeds hold:
R1 – Bye
R2 – Sinner or Ofner
R3 – [26] Mensik
R16 – [15] Fils
QF – [5] Shelton or [12] Rublev
SF – [4] Auger-Aliassime or [7] Medvedev
F – [2] Zverev or Musetti [8]
Meanwhile, here are some notable first-round matchups in Rome:
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Tomas Machac
Roberto Bautista Agut vs Francesco Maestrelli
Matteo Berrettini vs Alexei Popyrin
Matteo Arnaldi vs Jaume Munar
Jenson Brooksby vs Sebastian Baez
