In round 1, Daniel Altmaier seamlessly continued his performance in qualifying.

Altmaier had recently advanced to the quarterfinals in a Masters for the first time in Madrid. A difficult task now awaits him in Rome against the American Frances Tiafoe.

Yannick Hanfmann from Karlsruhe, who was successful in qualifying like Altmaier, is still required on Thursday. The German number one Alexander Zverev only intervened in the second round of the tournament after a bye.
