Rafael Nadal defeated defending champion Alexander Zverev in the final, 6–1, 1–6, 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2018 Italian Open. It was his record-extending eighth Italian Open title and his record-extending 32nd Masters 1000 title overall. With the win, Nadal also regained the world No. 1 singles ranking.

After failing to defend his runner-up points from the previous year, Novak Djokovic fell outside the top 20 in rankings for the first time since October 2006.
