Persistent rain in Rome has resulted in the cancellation of all play Wednesday at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

Twelve men’s singles and five doubles matches were originally scheduled on Wednesday at the Foro Italico, with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer set to play their second-round opening matches on Court Centrale in Rome. The trio, along with the remaining Top 10 seeds, now all face double duty on Thursday should they win their openers. (Read Thursday Preview)

World No. 1 Djokovic, who claimed the Mutua Madrid Open title on Sunday, will face off against #NextGenATP Canadian Denis Shapovalov while Nadal will begin his title defence against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy. Federer, in his first Rome match since 2016, will play Portugal's Joao Sousa in the second match on Court Centrale.
