SPOTLIGHT ON ROME : The Internazionali BNL D Italia , the fifth ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the season, is headlined by 18 of the top 20 players in the Emirates ATP Rankings. The 56-man field is led by world No. 1 and seven-time champion Rafael Nadal , who returns to the Italian capital miami south beach monthly vacation rentals for the 10th time. World No. 2 and two-time titlist Novak Djokovic is the other former winner in the draw. Nadal and Djokovic have accounted for the past nine titles since 2005.
DAY 1 PREVIEW : John Isner and Tommy Robredo headline the action on the opening day of play at the Foro Italico.

There are a total of six main draw singles matches on Sunday s schedule, while the final round of qualifying will also conclude today.

If he s runner-up in Madrid, however, he would then need to reach the SF in Rome to remain miami south beach monthly vacation rentals at No. 1. If he doesn t reach the SF and Djokovic wins the title, then the Serb will return to the summit of the rankings. This week marks Nadal s 32nd week in a row at No. 1 (since Oct. 7, 2013) and the 134th overall.
NO.1 SPOT IN MAY : The last time the No. 1 ranking changed hands in May was in 2003 when Lleyton miami south beach monthly vacation rentals Hewitt took over the top spot from Andre Agassi . The Aussie would hold onto it for five weeks, before going on to spend 80 weeks in total at the summit, which is the 10th most.
KEY TO REACHING NO. 1? In the past four years (and six of the last eight), the year-end No. 1 has won the most ATP Masters 1000 matches during that season. Here s a look at the year-end No. 1 players and their ATP Masters 1000 win-loss record those years:
DEFENDING CHAMPION : This is Nadal s 10th straight miami south beach monthly vacation rentals appearance in Rome.

For the past nine years (2005-13), he has won at least two European ATP World Tour clay court titles coming into Roland Garros.
FEDERER CHASING ELUSIVE CROWN : Last year s runner-up Roger Federer returns to action after he and wife Mirka welcomed twin sons (Lenny and Leo) into the family on May 6.

Three of his losses have come to Nadal (2007 QF; 2009, 2012 final). He is 13-1 in ATP Masters 1000 events this season, winning titles in Indian Wells (d. Federer) and Miami (d. Nadal).
BOUNCING BACK : Stanislas Wawrinka will be looking to bounce back this week after losing to youngster Dominic Thiem in his opening match in Madrid last Tuesday. The Swiss won his first ever Masters 1000 crown in Monte-Carlo last month (d. Federer in F). In the 36 Masters 1000 tournaments before Monte-Carlo, Nadal, Djokovic, Federer and Murray had accounted for 34 titles (28 of the past 29 since 2011). The only exceptions over the last four years had come in Paris-Bercy in 2010 (Soderling) and 2012 (Ferrer). Wawrinka, who reached the final here in 2008, is 6-0 vs. top 10 opponents this season.
HISTORY MAKER : Kei Nishikori is set to crack the top 10 in the Emirates miami south beach monthly vacation rentals ATP Rankings at the expense of John Isner this week.

HOME HOPES: Fabio Fognini is the No. 1 Italian in the Emirates ATP Rankings at No. 15.
