ROME, ITALY, April 03, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Some of the world's leading tennis players will soon be travelling to Rome for the Internazionali BNL d'Italia.
Running from Saturday May 12th to Sunday May 20th this year, the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event is a prestigious tournament held annually on the clay courts of the Foro Italico sports complex.
World number one Novak Djokovic triumphed in the Italian capital last year when he defeated Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-4 in the men's final, while the women's event was won by Maria Sharapova.
The likes of Djokovic and Nadal are expected to return to Rome for this year's event, while local tennis fans will no doubt be keen to cheer on home favourites such as Francesca Schiavone, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci.
Tickets for the tournament can be purchased online, with prices varying based on the session and the seating position. Seats for sessions on the opening day start at EUR30 (GBP24.90).
LateRooms.com recommends a large number of hotels in Rome that could appeal to tennis fans, such as the Hotel Farnese.
This luxurious hotel is located in one of the city's most elegant districts, between the Vatican City and Piazza del Popolo.
