As the Madrid Open concludes, we will now witness the final clay Masters of the year. The Italian Open, held in Rome, is the tournament that can provide a final momentum boost to players before Roland Garros rolls around. Additionally, the presence of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will draw viewers to the championship. To cover such an exciting tournament, we need a good lineup of commentators and analysts.
Tennis Channel is the prime authority for tennis coverage in the US and several other parts of the world. They recently shared the names of the personalities who will cover the tournament.

Prakash Amritraj has been fantastic when covering post-match interviews with players for a long time. Roddick has worked well as an analyst prior to matches; they will work as announcers along with the rest to give insight into the Italian Open. Tennis Channel will be on fire, with most matches only found on their service.
However, they took it a step ahead with the coverage of the sport. The tournament can be viewed on the US service, and WTA Rome Masters can be seen by Indian and Spanish viewers. Tennis Channel is not available in many countries, which is where other services step in.
