A tournament in Napoli is complete… failure As a result of suspending an ATP 250 tournament in Moscow, Napoli got a one year licence to organise a tournament. The place where the matches are held has a beautiful landscape, but since the 1st of qualifications, problems started… The 1st day of qualifications brought major problems. As the courts had many bumps, players refused to play at those courts. Qualifications had to be relocated to another tennis club in Napoli. Organizers were waiting for a new surface to come from Firenze, meaning that the start of the main draw was late for one day (there weren’t any matches on Monday). On Monday, we found out another scandal as former world no.18 and 3 times ATP 250 champion Andreas Seppi didn’t get a wild card for his last tournament of the career because organizers said they won’t give a wild card to someone who’s ending his career… As there wasn’t any play on Monday, there could be another problem. It’s still unknown if all matches could be played at the right time, meaning that if somebody bought a ticket for semifinal on Saturday, maybe quarterfinals will be played on that day. New surface came to Napoli, but Ramos-Vinolas was complaining about bumps even on that new surface. World no.62 in doubles, Nicolas Barrientos, was kicked out of his room. It looked like all problems were done, but last night, the match between Moutet and Nardi was interrupted and postponed for today. Reason for that is the fact that courts are close to sea plus huge humidity resulting in courts becoming wet… It’s Wednesday and what’s next that we could see in Napoli, we will find out. All in all, this is probably the worst ever tournament to be held. — Follow bloggeroftennis for more tennis content! — #tennis #bloggeroftennis #sport #ATP #ATPWorldTour #Napoli #Italy #Italia #2022 #tennisplayer #tenniscourt #tennislove #tennisfan #tennismatch #tennislife #tennisworld #tennisfun #tennistime
