A strong contingent of Italian players will also be part of the line-up. Gianluca Mager, who reached the final of the ATP 500 Rio Open earlier this year, Stefano Travaglia, Salvatore Caruso and Andreas Seppi will appear in the main draw.
The clay-court tournament is taking place during the second week of Roland Garros from October 5 to 11 at the Tennis Club President in Montechiarugolo, located about 13 kilometres southeast of Parma. The singles champion of the event will earn €18,290 in prize money as well as 125 ATP Ranking points.
The tournament’s defending champion is Tommy Robredo. The Spanish veteran battled past Italy’s Federico Gaio in last year’s final in three sets to lift his seventh Challenger career trophy.
