After 10 days in the Italian capital, this weekend will provide two champions after some scintillating tennis across the ATP and WTA events. Follow the climaxes with our Tennis Tracker.

10:52 CET - A quick check of the weather radar ahead of today's play in Rome is not making for good viewing. There is rain around for much of the day in the Italian capital, so the players may be on and off the court. Remember, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev have to finish off their semi-final before the women's final can begin.

The makeup of yesterday's semi will not take place before 15:00 CET, as announced by the organisers, with the men's doubles final preceding that at 13:00 CET.

09:00 CET - Good morning and welcome to the business end of the Rome Masters and WTA 1000 events in Italy, where we are just a few points away from knowing who the final finalist will be.

Last night, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev were locked in a tight tussle before rain forced them off the court on Friday. The pair will be back on court this morning to see who will play Casper Ruud in Sunday's showpiece.

It was a dramatic encounter on Friday, with a total of 57 winners from the pair, as Medvedev gave Sinner probably the toughest match of his historic run. It was abandoned last night after more than two hours of play at 6-2, 5-7, 4-2 in favour of the Italian world number one.

Once they are done, attention quickly switches to the women's final. After big guns, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, fell to the wayside, Coco Gauff and Elena Svitolina have risen to the top, contesting the final today from 17:00 CET.

For American Gauff, this is her sixth final on clay, whilst the Ukrainian could become the first player to win three titles in Rome since 1990. But the form book does not give us much to go on, since these two have never faced each other on this surface.
