Italian Open 2024: Results & updates

Cam Norrie exited the third round of the Italian Open after losing 6-2, 7-6(1) to sixth seed and former Roland Garros and Australian Open runner-up, Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The British No.1 fought back from a set and a break down to take the Monte Carlo Masters champion to a second set tie-break, but Tsitsipas raised his game once more in the defining moments.

The Greek star raced to a 5-0 lead before closing out his second career win against the Brit in an hour and 33 minutes.

Norrie will now turn his attention to Roland Garros, which gets underway on Sunday 26 May.

Joe Salisbury is the last remaining Brit in the main draw at the Italian Open. Salisbury and Rajeev Ram will face Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in the men's doubles quarter-final.

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram are set for the quarter-finals at the Italian Open after coming through a battle of the Brits on day five in Rome.

The 2021 runners-up defeated Mutua Madrid Open semi-finalists Jamie Murray and Michael Venus 7-5, 6-4 in an hour and 28 minutes.

After being broken on the opening game of the match, Salisbury and Ram saved all eight break points they faced and converted four of their own to see out a close match.

Murray and Venus won their only previous meeting in Madrid last year, but this time the third seeds came through with only their second victory since March.

In the quarter-finals they will take on the winners of Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin against Marcelo Arevalo and Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.

Tomorrow, British No.1 Cam Norrie will face off against the Monte Carlo champion and world No.8 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round of the men's singles.

Day four at the Italian Open saw plenty of Brits in action in the capital with Cam Norrie coming through a three set battle against Jaume Munar to reach the third round and Jack Draper pushing defending champion Daniil Medvedev to his limits in their second round clash.

Norrie secured his spot in the third round with a gutsy 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 win over Munar.

After a nervy start saw the British No.1 lose his opening service game over the match, he soon found his range - clinching back-to-back breaks against the Spaniard to take a one set lead.

Looking to fight his way back into the contest, Munar took his chances on the Brit's serve - converting all three break point opportunities to runaway with the second set and force a decider. However, the 2021 Indian Wells champion soon re-grouped in the third to find the only break of serve at 3-2 and seal a hard-fought victory after two hours and 24 minutes.

Norrie will now go on to face either sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas or Jan Lennard Struff.

Draper put in a gritty performance against second seed Medvedev, but eventually fell short in a 7-5, 6-4 defeat.

With Medvedev serving for a one-set advantage at 5-4, Draper managed to claw back to level terms but the world No.4 soon rebounded as he broke straight back before closing the opener on his next service game.

The momentum rested with the defending champion early in the second, as the Brit lost five games in a row to go 5-1 down. However, the British No.2 dug deep to claw back one break but it was too late, as Medvedev closed out the match on his first match point.

Despite his second round exit, Draper can leave Rome with confidence in knowing he can push the world's best tennis players on the biggest stages.

Doubles

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram were back in action as they came through a tough match up against the in-form and recently crowned Mutua Madrid Open champions Seb Korda and Jordan Thompson in the match deciding tie-break, 4-6, 6-2, 10-8.

Salisbury and Ram will go on to face fellow Brit Jamie Murray and Michael Venus in the round of 16.

Katie Boulter is out of the Italian Open after the British No.1 lost against Slovakia’s Rebecca Sramkova 6-4, 7-6(8) in the second round.

After a slow start saw the 27-year-old Brit go 4-1 and two breaks down in the opening set, Boulter gradually found her feet in a late night contest in Rome. She fought her way back to 5-4 and had three break points on the world No.120’s serve, but after 53 minutes, Sramkova had the one set advantage.

From a break down in the second, Boulter continued to pile the pressure on her opponent from the baseline and from 3-1 down, soon found herself leading 5-3 with the chance to serve out the match. However, a couple of loose errors from the Brit gifted Sramkova a way back into the match as the Slovak forced her way to a tie-break.

Boulter showed excellent grit to fight off two match points but on the third time of asking Sramkova found the perfect shot deep to the Brit’s backhand, clinching the match in two hours and nine minutes.

Doubles

Jamie Murray and Michael Venus got off to a winning start at the Italian Open - beating fellow Brit Lloyd Glasspool and Jean-Julien Rojer 6-4, 6-3.

Murray might have to face another Brit in the second round as they face the winners of Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram against Mutua Madrid Open champions Seb Korda and Jordan Thompson.

Murray and Venus continue their excellent form after making the semi-finals in Madrid last week.

British No.1 Katie Boulter is in action later against Rebecca Sramkova.

Jack Draper has got his Italian Open campaign off to a show-stopping start after securing a dominant win over Borna Coric on his tournament debut.

The British No.2 came through a tight opening set before running away in the second to earn a 7-5, 6-1 victory.

Draper's serve was his biggest weapon throughout the match - landing 78% of first serves and dropping just three points behind it. Serving with conviction and accuracy, the 22-year-old did not face a single break point on his serve in the one hour and 37 minute battle, and broke the Croatian three times to book his spot in the next round.

Draper's victory sees him set up a mouth-watering meeting against defending champion and world No.4 Daniil Medvedev on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Dan Evans suffered a tough loss to wild card entrant Fabio Fognini, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in his opening match.

After levelling the contest to a set apiece, Evans was firmly carrying the momentum going into the decisive set. The British No.3 had seemingly recovered from an early set back in the third set, but the Italian soon caught sight of a double break to put an end to Evans' comeback hopes in the Italian capital.

Doubles

Former world No.1s Neal Skupski and Austin Krajicek lost a first round epic against Marcelo Melo and Alexander Zverev 7-6(0), 6-7(5), 11-9 in two hours and 16 minutes.

Teaming up for the first time, the British, American duo had two match points in the deciding match tie-break but were unable to get over the line.
