PERUGIA, May 18, 2023

The Internazionali di Tennis Città di Perugia | G.I.Ma. Tennis Cup is set to return for its eighth edition. The ATP Challenger 125 tournament organized by MEF Tennis Events in the Umbrian capital will be staged June 11-18 on the clay courts of the Perugia Tennis Club, one of the oldest venues on the Challenger Circuit.

Last year Spaniard Jaume Munar captured the title following a three-set win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina in the singles final. Promotion of the new edition of the tournament has already begun with the launch of a video featuring Perugia native Francesco Passaro, ranked World No. 126. This is one of many initiatives that will highlight the city of Perugia and the event.

“It is a pleasure to be reunited with the same team year after year. The Internazionali di Tennis Città di Perugia | G.I.Ma. Tennis Cup has become a regular event for our city.
