Fresh from winning his first title in nearly four years, Andy Murray returns to court as he takes on Fabio Fognini at the Italian Open.
The former world number one beat Tommy Paul in the final of an ATP Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence on Sunday after taking a late wildcard into the tournament to continue his preparations for the French Open, which begins on 28 May.
The Scot will hope to further build on that success in Rome this week at the site of his last top tier clay court crown.
But he faces tough first round opposition in the form of veteran Fognini, ever a danger on this surface.
