Tennis is experiencing a vibrant moment in Brescia and Lombardy, largely thanks to the phenomenon of Sinner, who continues to positively influence the growth of this sport. Recently, there has been a 22% increase in registrations with the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (Fitp), with over 81,000 members in the region. Brescia stands out for its dynamism, ranking as the second Lombard province in terms of the number of clubs, right after Milan. In this context, events like the Women’s Internationals and the Lampo Trophy contribute to enriching the local sports offerings.
Alberto Paris, a former professional tennis player and current technical director of the Tennis Club Forza e Costanza, emphasizes the importance of the federation’s commitment to engaging young people through school initiatives. With approximately 4,200 new members in the province, the work done in recent years has created a solid foundation for the future of tennis in Brescia. Michelangelo Dell’Edera, team manager of the Davis Cup, highlights how the recent victory can have a significant social impact, further promoting the sport among new generations and bringing excitement to the Italian sports landscape.
