The Italian clay season opens with the second edition of Challenger 175, scheduled from 29 April to 5 May on the Monte Urpinu courts. Many big Italians on the field. Tickets already on sale with discount for FITP members for a unique event that promises quality and entertainment.

Now there is very little left until the start of the second edition of the "Sardegna Open", a Challenger 175 category tournament that launches the great tennis season in Italy, a tasty appetizer of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.

From 29 April to 5 May the event for fans is on the red clay of the Cagliari Tennis Club, where they will be able to admire up close the protagonists of the Italian tennis renaissance as well as the top players who, having left the ATP 1000 in Madrid prematurely, will be able to sign up to continue playing before the Foro Italico.

A quick glance at the list of those registered for the "Sardinia Open" is enough to realize the absolute quality of the players that Sardinian fans will be able to admire. As in the last edition, which saw the Frenchman Ugo Humbert prevail over opponents of the caliber of Ben Shelton, Laslo Djere and Diego Schwartzman, this year too the entry list is fabulous. The ambitious objective is to further raise the technical and spectacular rate of a competition that has already achieved excellence, with a prize pool of 205 thousand euros and a draw of 28 for singles and 16 pairs for doubles.

“Another season of great events in Italian tennis opens, in a truly historic moment for our movement - specified the President of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation Angelo Binaghi - and we are ready to start, once again, this great little journey that from Cagliari will take us to Rome. Our events, which are increasingly important, are the thermometer of our growth, which has been constant for years, combined with the extraordinary results of the field".

At the moment the entry list includes all the top Italian players in the ATP ranking (with the exception of n.2 Jannik Sinner), starting from Lorenzo Musetti (n.24 in the world ranking) up to Luca Nardi (76), passing through Matteo Arnaldi (38), Lorenzo Sonego (57), Flavio Cobolli (63), Luciano Darderi (64).
