The President of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP) has announced an upcoming grass-court tournament to be held in Italy. This exciting development comes as the Internazionali d’Italia is set to commence at the Foro Italico in just 14 days, promising a record-breaking edition. A significant aspiration for this year’s event is the potential victory of Jannik Sinner, which would mark a historic first for an Italian player on home soil.
During the press conference, the conversation inevitably shifted towards the world of football. The FITP President was asked to comment on the situation involving Giovanni Malagò and his role within the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). The details of these discussions and pronouncements are expected to shed light on current sports administration dynamics in Italy.
The upcoming Internazionali d’Italia is highly anticipated, not only for the possibility of an Italian champion but also for the overall scale and prestige of the event. The introduction of a grass-court tournament further signals Italy’s growing commitment to diversifying its tennis calendar and offering top-tier international competitions across different surfaces.
