WTA Rome 2026 Seeds

It's another star-studded field in Rome, with the entire top 20 set to battle it out for the prestigious silverware.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is bidding for a first title in Rome, but she will face a stern test from the rest of the field - including defending champion Jasmine Paolini, who is under pressure to defend her points from last year after a tough 2026.

Iga Swiatek is also down on confidence as she searches for a fifth title in Rome, while it will be interesting to see how Marta Kostyuk performs after a magical run to a first WTA 1000 title in Madrid.
