Rafael Nadal has the most titles in the Italian Open’s history.
The pristine clay courts of the Foro Italico Sports Complex are readied each May for one of the crown jewel events on the tennis calendar – the Italian Open.
Dating back to its 1930 origins in Milan, the combined ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event now draws the game’s elite to Rome for a two-week tournament steeped in tradition. After moving to the Italian capital in 1935, a hiatus occurred from 1936-1949 before the event resumed in 1950.
The sprawling Foro Italico venue features 18 clay courts, headlined by the 10,400-seat Stadio Centrale which was renovated ahead of the 2010 edition. Two other show courts – the Stadio Pietrangeli and Grand Stand Arena – accommodate the enormous crowds that flock to the grounds annually.
While Rafael Nadal has utterly dominated on the red clay, Chris Evert stands out on the women’s side with six career singles titles in Rome. Virginia Wade also etched her name in the record books with four doubles titles.
