Murray v Fognini | Goffin v Verdasco | Djokovic v Bedene | Zverev v Anderson 

The first round ends and second round begins Tuesday in Rome as Top 2 seeds Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic take to Center Court. Murray, who is 16-6 this season, faces No. 1 Italian Fabio Fognini. The Brit was 17-5 entering Rome last season before winning the title and finishing 2016 on a 61-4 run. Djokovic, a four-time champion, opens against Budapest finalist Aljaz Bedene. 

David Ferrer and No. 12 seed Tomas Berdych are hoping to post milestone victories against Feliciano Lopez and Carlos Berlocq respectively. Ferrer, who defeated World No. 1 Andre Agassi in his Rome debut 14 years ago, is one win from 700 career victories. Berdych could break a tie with his coach Goran Ivanisevic by beating Berlocq on Court 1 for his 600th career win.

The newly named Next Gen Arena hosts Emirates ATP Race to Milan leader Alexander Zverev against qualifier Kevin Anderson. No. 18 Nick Kyrgios and No. 20 Roberto Bautista Agut, the highest-ranked unseeded players in the field, face one another in a first-round match on Pietrangeli. Originally scheduled to meet 38-year-old Ivo Karlovic in the oldest ATP match since 1982, 39-year-old Tommy Haas instead meets 20-year-old lucky loser Ernesto Escobedo on Court 1.
