Adnkronos Rome, May 15 (Adnkronos) – "The enthusiasm generated by the extraordinary journey of Jasmine Paolini, Lorenzi Musetti and Jannik Sinner in the Internazionali Bnl d'Italia has allowed us to register a record figure for the ticket office. To date, 380 thousand tickets have already been sold, for a record takings of 35 million euros. Furthermore, on Sunday afternoon, when the winner of the men's draw scores match point, fans will already be able to book their place at the Foro Italico for the 2026 edition".
Thus the president of Fitp Angelo Binaghi. "From Sunday 18 to Sunday 25 May it will be possible to purchase in pre-emption reserved for Fitp members (Athletes, Members and Gold) and from 12:00 on Monday 26 May the free sale for enthusiasts will begin and the pre-emption for the purchase of season tickets will begin".
"The covering of the central court is something that had to be done. I have always maintained that it was a necessary and important work, now the level of the tournament in Rome is so high that a choice of this kind can no longer be postponed", added the president of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation during the talk 'Points of view', in the Executive Lounge Area in the shadow of the Central Court, at the Foro Italico, moderated by the director of Adnkronos Davide Desario.
Binaghi also spoke about the meeting with Pope Leo XIV. "Sinner was very good at meeting the Pope: he is no longer a shy boy like a few years ago", continued Binaghi during the talk 'Points of View', in the presence of the Ministers of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti, the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci and the President of Sport and Health Marco Mezzaroma. "I also saw the parents different, they are much more aware of what they have done and of the role they have fallen into today. They were also very quick in making this change", underlined Binaghi. "We invited the Pope here to the Foro Italico because, like us, we went to him, we asked if he could reciprocate. There is a saying that goes that if someone does not go to the mountain... but you can't say that", joked the president of the Fitp.
