Turin, 7 February 2022 – The activities of the I Tennis Foundation continue for the realisation of the Little Tennis Champions 2022-2026 project, an international lab, never before realised in the history of tennis, which involves the donation of 20 scholarships for school and tennis training to 20 talents born in 2008 (8 Italians and 12 from the most disadvantaged European countries). Awaiting the announcement to win one of the 20 four-year scholarships, which will be announced upon completion of the fundraising in early May, the new totally charitable academy returned to the court last weekend with the semi-finalists of the Little Tennis Sparks tournament that had concluded its 2021 premiere. Three training sessions, between the Circolo della Stampa Sporting in Turin (on the concrete of the training centre built for the Nitto ATP Finals) and Le Pleiadi in Moncalieri, under the supervision of Francesca Schiavone, ambassador and member of the technical committee of the I Tennis Foundation. Two days of special training sessions that will be repeated in March and April, again with the queen of Roland Garros 2010 engaged on the court to share her extraordinary experience.
TECHNICAL COMMITTEE I TENNIS CAMPUS DIRECTOR: Emilio Sanchez. MEMBERS: Francesca Schiavone, Ivan Ljubicic, Gipo Arbino, Rocco Loccisano.
