Tennis LIVE: Raducanu comes under fire as Alcaraz shows true Sinner feelings
The Italian Open is underway, but the action is still being overshadowed by the return of Jannik Sinner. The world No.1 will play his first match back in professional tennis since his doping ban on Saturday, when he takes on Argentine Mariano Navone.
There is no Novak Djokovic in Rome. The Serbian is opting to skip the tournament to manage his build-up to the French Open. Friday will see plenty of British interest, though, with Jack Draper, Cam Norrie and Emma Raducanu all in action.
Raducanu has spoken positively about her part-time coaching arrangement with Mark Petchey, and can continue her improved form by beating 21st seed Ekaterina Alexandrova today. The likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are also playing on what promises to be an exciting day in the Italian capital.
