From today, Tuesday, October 18, until Sunday, 23 on the open-air concrete courts of the “Tennis Club Napoli”, the ATP 250 tournament will be played in Naples, which will have 28 players at the start, including the top four (Carreno Busta, Berrettini, Bautista Agut and Musetti) who will start their course from the 2nd round. Also present among the players of Azzurra Sonego, Fognini, Cobolli and Nardi, with the last two being present thanks to their respective Wild Cards.
The Tournament will guarantee the winner 250 ATP points and a “cash prize” of almost 630 thousand euros, of which 95,500 will go to the winner. After the problems that occurred in the Arena field where the tournament takes place, which forced the organizers to postpone the start of the main draw challenges, everything is ready. In total, there will be six Italian tennis players involved in Naples: Matteo Berrettini (among the seeds) Lorenzo Musetti, Lorenzo Sonego, Fabio Fognini, Flavio Cobolli and Luca Nardi. Even though Andrej Rublev has given up, there is no shortage of important names, such as Pablo Carreno Busta and Roberto Bautista Agut, Albert Ramos-Vinolas, American Brandon Nakashima, Frenchman Corentin Moutet, Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
2022 Napoli Cup draw, opponents of Berettini and Musetti
The ATP 250 score in Naples reserved a particular path between the two most rated Italians, Berrettini and Musetti: the first, seeded #2, was inserted at the bottom, the second at the top and therefore, in the case of a path without mistakes, they could meet in the final on Sunday, October 23, for an all-blue ground. But obstacles are not lacking in a score where the n.1 is Pablo Carreno Busta, after the abandonment of Rublev, and who is in the same zone as Musetti, for which he represents the main opponent in the race for the final. Berrettini will have to face him during the tournament, likely against Roberto Bautista Agut (seed #3) who will make his first round debut.
