Rafael Nadal defeated the defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final, 7–5, 1–6, 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2021 Italian Open.[1] It was his record-extending 10th Italian Open title and record-equaling 36th Masters 1000 title overall (matching Djokovic's tally). Nadal saved two match points in his third round match against Denis Shapovalov en route to the title.[2] This was also the fourth time that Nadal had won a tournament on 10 or more occasions, making him the only tennis player with the feat.[3]
It was Djokovic's sixth runner-up finish at the Italian Open, a record for the most runner-up finishes at one event on the ATP Tour.
Lorenzo Sonego became the first Italian man to reach a semifinal in Rome since Filippo Volandri in 2007.[4]
