2016 · 5/9
An ATP Masters 1000 on outdoor clay in Rome, framed by Madrid and then Geneva. The clay grips and rates 25.4 on the court pace index, among the slowest around: holds sit at 76%, aces are scarce and tiebreaks are uncommon. Favourites grind through rather than get ambushed, with three fifths of matches ending in straights. The heavy-topspin retriever with legs is the type. Djokovic has five titles here.
