The world No1 Novak Djokovic will aim to win his first tournament in the season

Following the Madrid Open comes the next Masters 1000 tournament, the Italian Open this week. Rafael Nadal is the defending champion after he defeated Novak Djokovic in last year’s final. But the Serbian has also won here before on five occasions. The 2022 ATP Rome betting odds favor the two stars again along with other top 10 players like Tsitsipas and Zverev. The 79th edition of the Italian Open or as it’s also known, the Rome Masters is held this week in the Italian capital, between the 8th and 15th of May. The third and last Masters 1000 tournament on clay in the season will have some the best players in its field. From 10-time winner Rafael Nadal to world No1 Novak Djokovic who also won here five times so far. The winner of the Madrid Open last weekend, Carlos Alcaraz will skip this tournament. Unlike the runner-up, Alexander Zverev. While the world No5 Stefanos Tsitsipas and the world No7 Andrey Rublev will also compete in the Eternal City. Local fans will hope for the success of Italian players though. The tenth seed of the tournament, Jannik Sinner has the biggest chance of getting a good result. But the 2018 quarter-finalist, Fabio Fognini can also perform well on home soil.

2022 ATP Rome Betting Odds Favor Nadal and Djokovic for the Title

Rafael Nadal missed six weeks due to an injury but returned to competing in Madrid last week. He reached the quarter-final in Spain where his young compatriot, Carlos Alcaraz stopped him. Now the world No4 can get even further in Rome where he is the top favorite of online sportsbooks in Italy. They offer the odds of 3.30 for his win in their 2022 ATP Rome betting odds. Which is not surprising as Nadal is the most successful player in the tournament’s history with his 10 victories. The 21-time Grand Slam winner is the king of clay who is the top favorite in the French Open too. Where he can meet his big rival, Novak Djokovic in the final, just like in this tournament. The Serbian has also won in Rome five times so far. While he was the runner-up on six more occasions. The world No1 had a slow start of the season after his misery in Australia. Djokovic hasn’t won any tournament this season. But he reached the final at home in the Serbian Open and got to the semi-final in Madrid last week. Now his chances of winning are 3.40 in the betting tips. He also has the odds of 2.45 to feature in the Italian Open final for the 7th time in his career.

Tsitsipas can’t be missed from our tips

Stefanos Tsitsipas is the fourth seed of the tournament but his odds rank him in the top favorites after Nadal and Djokovic. The world No5 is very strong on this surface and has already won a Masters 1000 tournament this season in Monte-Carlo. The Greek reached the quarter-final in Barcelona and the semi-final last week in Madrid. In Rome his best result has also been getting to the semi-final in 2019. Now his odds to repeat this result are 2.20. While to win his 9th ATP Tour title has the odds of 6.50. Online gambling sites in Italy offer the odds of 11.00 for the win of the world No3, Alexander Zverev. Like Djokovic, the German hasn’t got any win in this season so far. Even though he was close to winning last week. But he lost the final against the new tennis sensation, 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz who won’t play on this event. Zverev won his first Masters 1000 title in Rome back in 2017 and was the runner-up in the following year. So can look forward to another great result in Italy. Just like the home favorite, Jannik Sinner who is the highest ranked Italian player in the absence of Matteo Berrettini. The world No13 reached four quarter-finals this year but hasn’t performed too well in Rome yet. He will start against Pedro Martinez with the odds of 1.232 on 22Bet to win the match. Then he can meet the sixth seed, Andrey Rublev in a probably more difficult tie.
