How come this title has both Padua and Padova but the Challenger title doesn't have Naples and Napoli?

steven · Tennis legend

Um ... cos I assumed everybody knew Napoli was Naples but maybe not that Padova was Padua. (it may not sound like a good reason, but that is why I did it, though without much thought)

Salmon · Tennis legend

Fair enough.

Why use the Italian names in the first place when there's a recognised English equivalent? confuse The Frogs wouldn't! wink

Salmon · Tennis legend

I suppose it's because the ITF lists the venue as Padova.

Marsalek lead 4-0 in the 3rd before choking it away 4-6. Good effort but awfully frustrating

Smidster · Challenger level

Great effort considering a near 1000 place differential
