New for 2019 - 2 Special Hosted Trips to the Rome Masters
with Ian & Laura
The Italian Open is one of the just three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events contested on red clay.
Held at the Foro Italico in Rome in the second week of May, it attracts an impressive line up of the top players. In 2018, Rafa Nadal took the title for a record eighth time beating Alexander Zverev to return (temporarily) to no.1 in the ATP rankings.
This is your opportunity to watch the drama unfold for yourself and brush up on your own clay court game into the bargain.
Ian and Laura are organising 2 special hosted trips with limited places to the Rome Masters 2019. No need to stress about tickets, transport or accommodation - it's all taken care of.
You just have to get yourself to Rome . After that, Ian and Laura - both fluent Italian speakers - will take care of everything.
In the mornings, before the action begins on the clay at the Foro Italico, Ian and Laura, assisted by local tennis coaches Iuri and Andrea, will put you through your paces at a nearby local club.
In the afternoon at the Foro Italico you will be able to enjoy not just the tennis but the total entertainment experience that is the Rome Masters.
High fashion, fine food and fabulous shopping have made the tournament one of the most glamorous stops on the ATP World Tour.

Ian & Laura will also host tennis discussions in the grounds of the Foro Italico after watching some world class matches or practice sessions. This could include any aspect of the top players technique or tactics or maybe just as simple as “do we like their gear?!”
The Rome Masters has been won 8 times by Rafael Nadal and tends to attract all of the world’s best players.
If you like shopping for tennis clothes/equipment then inside the grounds of the Foro Italico you can choose from a huge variety including all the famous brands plus some local Italian gear. Possibly the best range of tennis merchandise to be found in Italy all in one place!
