The quality of the event is underlined by the extremely high cut off for the main draw with world number 40 Shuai Zhang relegated to the qualifications.

The Italian squad will be led by Camila Giorgi, the only player from the host country to have made the cut based on her rankings. But she is joined by Jasmine Paolini, Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Lucia Bronzetti, who received a Wild Card.

Part of this packed field are two of the rising stars of the WTA tour: Cori Gauff and Emma Raducanu. Once again, everything is ready for a great show at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
