Pending the wild cards and the qualifiers, five Italians are currently guaranteed a place in the main draw: Jannik Sinner (ATP No. 2), Lorenzo Musetti (5), Flavio Cobolli (16), Luciano Darderi (21) and Lorenzo Sonego (66). The last player to be directly admitted is Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff (78); Mattia Bellucci (79) is currently the first of those excluded.
