Roma – The highest ranking Jannik Sinner took over the men’s tennis and Italy’s Davis Cup and Billy Jean Gold Cup Cup last year.
Jasmine Paolini just became the first home player to win the Italian Open in 40 years and is about to rank fourth in the women’s rankings.
Players like Lorenzo Musetti, Federico Cinà and Tyra Caterina grants offer Italy the potential to dominate tennis in the coming years.
Nevertheless, the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation president Angelo Binaghi wants more. More.
Binaghi’s goal is to have the Italians open the fifth Grand Slam Championship with the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, a century of tennis history.
“In other parts of society, monopoly lasted for more than 100 years?” Binaji said on Sunday, the last day of the Italian Open. “Why are there always four, always four? … This is absolutely unfair and does not help tennis grow.”
The Italian Open is a Masters series, below the slam of the tennis match level. However, Italico’s Foro Italico event has now lasted two weeks like a professional, thanks to the success of Sinner, Paolini and many other Italian players.
Italy has also held its ATP final in Turin since 2021, recently extending its custody contract for its year-end tournament, which features eight male players before 2030. In addition, the Davis Cup final No. 8 will start in Italy for three years in November this year, starting in Bologna.
“We are now the world champions at the stadium and organization level,” Binaghi said.
Earlier this year, Binaghi expressed interest in obtaining a license to the Madrid Open, ahead of Rome in the tennis calendar. The idea is to eliminate Madrid and make Rome more likely to form the fifth Grand Slam.
“We need to stay focused in the international market and try to leverage the smallest ATP 250 to the largest race,” Binaghi said.
Not immediately answered was a request for comment on behalf of the four major majors.
After years of delays, organizers announced new plans to build retractable roofs on Campo Centrale, the main stadium of the Italian Open.
The rooftops plan to prepare for the 2028 Championship at a cost of €60 million ($67 million) will add 2,000 additional seats, increasing capacity to 12,500.
Foro Italico’s grand venue has increased from 12 hectares (30 acres) to 20 hectares (30 acres) during this year’s competition, and another statue-lined game arena has been added.
