Tennis: Piedmont Open returns with many Italians and Hubert Hurkacz
Turin, after the ATP Finals, is preparing to host the third edition of the Piemonte Open, ATP Challenger 175 tournament scheduled on the courts of the charming Circolo della Stampa Sporting in Turin from Monday, May 12 to Sunday, May 18.
The tournament’s entry list is respectable. At the moment, there are 18 entrants who are in the Top 100 of the ATP ranking. Great anticipation for seeing Hubert Hurkacz, former world No. 6 and capable of winning, in his career, two Masters 1000 and participating in two editions of the ATP Finals.
Many Italian nationals will take part in the Piedmont Open. Lorenzo Sonego, the home idol, could not miss it. There will also be Luciano Darderi, currently riding high on the circuit, Luca Nardi and Francesco Passaro, the latter the defending champion. Being between the Internazionali d’Italia and Roland Garros, it is clear that others could enrich the entry list in the coming days.
“The ATP 175 Challenger ‘Piemonte Open Intesa Sanpaolo’ turns three years old, under the banner of continuity that goes with the Nitto ATP Finals and has made Turin the tennis capital of the world. The Circolo della Stampa Sporting is proud to be part of this narrative and a historic moment that as never before has brought Italian tennis back to world honors and, above all, reawakened in Italians the passion and interest for a sport that here, on our courts, has a heart that beats strong always and forever” the words of Pietro Garibaldi, President of the Circolo della Stampa Sporting.
