Which hotel has courts? In 2010 - my hotel arranged a hit at a local club; but they assumed I belonged to a club and when I arrived they wanted proof.

Everyone should go to the Rome event if possible; great city. And they start playing later than most tournaments so you can do some sightseeing then go get a day's worth of action. Walked up to a public facility - they wanted a ton for an hr hit - ridiculous.

The only negative (at least in 2010 when I was there) - they allowed people to smoke in the crowd.

i booked in Crowne plaza they have 2 clay courts, and another hotel next to it called Atahotel Villa Pamphili they have 6 clay courts ( but this is a club attached to it)

email me if you will be in Rome between 15 to 20 May

as i told you before 2 or more hours of tennis guaranteed
till now no body contacted me yet or appointed a certain date and time, so even if there are 3 of us we can still manage to make a good hit.

i extended my stay in the hotel ( arriving one day earlier ) from 15 to 20 May

i will be going to the Masters on 16th and 17th day sessions, hopefully after i hit my courts for a couple of hours.
