Day 5 of the 2023 Italian Open will see the start of the women's third round matches while the men's second round matches come to a close.
After ousting the in-form Aryna Sabalenka, Sofia Kenin will look to continue her good run of form in Rome. The American is up against 30th seed Anhelina Kalinina.
Coco Gauff was off to a dominant start as she handed Yulia Putintseva a beatdown in the second round. The teenager will now take on the tricky Marie Bouzkova for a place in the fourth round.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz will begin his campaign on Saturday against compatriot Albert Ramos Vinolas. He just needs to win this match to reclaim the World No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic.
