It's men's semi-finals day in Rome, as Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Luciano Darderi all look to seal their place in Sunday's showpiece event.

11:00 CET - Good morning and welcome to our coverage of men's semi-finals day at the Italian Open!

First up, at 15:30 CET, Norway's resurgent Casper Ruud takes on Luciano Darderi, with the Italian making his first-ever appearance in a Masters semi-final.

The pair have never met before, however, Ruud will certainly fancy his chances of reaching a 19th career final on his favourite surface, as he targets a first title since October 2025.

The second semi-final sees world number one and overwhelming favourite for the title, Jannik Sinner, take on 2023 champion Daniil Medvedev.

It's the 17th meeting between the pair, with Sinner - who leads the head-to-head record 9-7 - looking to move one step closer to completing the full set of Masters titles.
