Tuesday in Rome should become Super Tuesday. And if you only look at the sheer amount of tennis that the audience was offered, then this assessment is also correct: All eight men's round of 16 games were played there, plus four women's matches. In the latter, Veronika Kudermetova and Anhelina Kalinina have already qualified for the semifinals, while Iga Swiatek and Paula Badosa have qualified for the quarterfinals.

But it so happened that Stefanos Tsitsipas and Lorenzo Musetti were only able to enter the Campo Centrale a few minutes before midnight. In front of a surprisingly large and lively crowd considering the late start time and the frosty temperatures. However, the Italian fans had to witness that Tsitsipas, Lorenzo Musetti, said goodbye to the last local hero from the competition. Tstitsipas won 7: 5 and 7: 5 and meets Borna Coric in the quarterfinals. The Croatian, most recently in Madrid in the semi-finals, beat Alcaraz conqueror Fabian Marozsan in three sets.
