«The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation continues its development policy through the promotion of Great Tennis in our country – commented the President Angelo BinaghiAfter having founded the SuperTennis channel 15 years ago, thus bringing our sport back to the homes of all Italians, and after having reopened a free-to-air window on Wimbledon, we are now proud to make available to the entire vast audience of Italian fans another of the top four tournaments in the world. The US Open is one of the competitions that has recently given us the best satisfactions, including the historic 2015 final won by Flavia Pennetta over Roberta Vinci, and, if this fresh tradition is reaffirmed in the coming years under the eyes of the large national television audience , I believe that SuperTennis can thus contribute not only to further promoting tennis but also to encouraging our players to improve and gain popularity».
