Day 5 of the Italian Open will see the start of the women's singles third round, along with the continuation of the men's singles second round. Rafael Nadal staged a fantastic comeback to survive a three-set tussle against Zizou Bergs in his opener.
It only gets tougher for him from here on, though, with the Spaniard taking on Hubert Hurkacz in the second round on Saturday. Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune and defending champion Daniil Medvedev are among the well-known names in action on the men's side as well.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek's quest for a Madrid-Rome double continues against Yulia Putintseva on Saturday. Grand Slam champions Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka are among the other leading ladies in the mix. On that note, here's a brief glance at the schedule for Day 5 of the Italian Open:
