Italian Open 2023 tennis preview

The 2023 Italian Open men's final between Denmark's Holger Rune and Russia's Daniil Medvedev has been delayed due to yet more heavy rain at the Foro Italico. The news prompted the organisers to announced that a roof will be built over the venue.

Medvedev beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets yesterday, with the Greek No.5 seed seemingly blaming his mum for his poor, even suggesting that she 'needed to leave the stadium'. Full details of how to watch today's men's final below.

The rain-delayed Italian Open women's singles final between Anhelina Kalinina and Elena Rybakina ended early yesterday. Wimbledon champion Rybakina was declared the winner after her opponent was forced to retire early with a left thigh injury.

The Italian Open is not just the last major event before Roland Garros, but also the last simultaneous ATP and WTA tournament. With 1,000 ranking points up for grabs, it's the next best thing to a major, and there are lots of players heading to Rome with plenty to prove.

Holger Rune vs Daniil Medvedev is about the start (rain permitting). Read on and we'll show you how to watch a 2023 Italian Open live stream free online.
