We're nearing the final few matches of the Italian Open. The women's singles final between Coco Gauff and Jasmine Paolini takes place on Saturday, May 17 and the men's singles final is one day later on Sunday, May 18.
The Italian Open, or Internazionali BNL d'Italia as it's alternatively known, is an ATP 1000 and WTA 1000 tournament with men's and women's singles and doubles. It takes place at the Foro Italico in Rome, on clay courts.
Only a few players remain, either from being knocked out or voluntarily pulling out (as Djokovic did).
Italian Open play ends a week before the French Open, which begins on Sunday, May 25, making Foro Italico players' best option for a warm-up before that Grand Slam event. Here's how to watch the French Open.
So there are plenty of reasons to watch. Here's how to see live Italian Open 2025 coverage, online or on TV, from different regions in the world.
