The Italian Open has arrived on the heels of a seismic Madrid Open, but one superstar competitor will not feature in Rome.<\/p>\n
Carlos Alcaraz Garfia is the name to remember. The Spanish teenager\u2019s reputation was already blossoming prior to the clay court season but he has come to full bloom after winning the Barcelona Open and Madrid Open in back-to-back tournaments.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old went through King of Clay Rafael Nadal \u2013 who won his first Grand Slam when Alcaraz Garfia was just two years old \u2013 and world No.1 Novak Djokovic on the way to the trophy, but has withdrawn from the Italian Open to rest up ahead of the French Open.<\/p>\n
The brewing storm will have the old guard quaking ahead of Roland-Garros, but the likes of Nadal and Djokovic have a big opportunity to seize points and a crown in Italy this week.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s event, world No.1 Iga Swiatek will be determined to make the most of her return to action, though Paula Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka will hope to close the gap to the top. Brit Emma Raducanu is also in action.<\/p>\n
