Williams has not played since withdrawing from her third-round match at the Miami Open in March with a previously undisclosed left knee injury.

Federers announced schedule has him playing the Madrid Open next week as his only warmup for the French Open, which starts May 26.

While he is a four-time runner-up, Federer has never won the Italian Open making it one of the few significant trophies he hasnt claimed.

Playing three consecutive tournaments on clay at his age is complicated, Italian tennis federation president Angelo Binaghi said.

The Italian federation said 1999 champion Venus Williams and former No. 1 Victoria Azarenka received wild cards to the tournament according to the WTA rule for former top-20 players.
