Code:

Hello and welcome to the long awaited end of this season’s Internazionali BNL d'Italia. The players are about to get underway. The pre-match favourite looks to be Luka Popovic, who has more experience on the clay surface and his only title on it. The odds are very close though, just three places separate them close to the top of the tour rankings. And it’s Popovic to get us underway.
