Tennis Lake Garda & campings

Italy has an enormous tennis tradition in which sport and fashion are often intertwined. Who does not remember how Bjorn Borg in Fila outfit and John McEnroe in Sergio Tacchini battled the courts for many years at Wimbledon, Roland Garros and other tournaments across the world. On the larger Italian tennis clubs you can often find that history.

During the summer season, a large number of professional ATP, Challenger and Future tournaments are organized in Italy, where the entrance is often free-of-charge and top-players-to-be will compete for their first ATP points. In April there are tournaments in Bergamo, Naples, in May in Turin, Rome and Mestre (Venice) and in August in the beautiful Cortina D'Ampezzo. From Lake Garda, the Bergamo and Mestra tournaments are perfect for a day visit. Read on for great tennis holiday ideas!
