Enel Inter-Parliamentary Charity Tennis Event Ends In Rome

Rome, Italy

Italy, Finland and Russia completed an Inter Parliamentary Charity Tennis for Africa singles and doubles event in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at the Due Ponti Sporting Club in Rome over the weekend of 19-20 September.

Russia nominated three deputies of State, Konstantin Zatulin, Ildar Gimaletdinov and Yury Borisovets. Italy selected two teams, Pierluigi Mantini, Enrico Costa and Roberto Zaccaria, and the winning second team of Valerio Calzolaio and Gianantonio Arnoldi. Three Parliamentarians took part for Finland, Matti Sariñen, Tuomo Puumala, the youngest member of the tournament, and Merikukka Forsius.

Four former ATP pros joined the teams, including Gianluca Pozzi and Vincenzo Santopadre from Italy, Jonas Svensson from Sweden and Andrei Chesnokov from Russia.

Donations were provided by each country in favour of the DREAM project of the Community of Sant'Egidio for the Center for treatment of children with AIDS in Maputo - Mozambique.
 
The initiative organized by the non-profit Tennis for Africa Association, with the collaboration of ATP, was strongly supported by Enel with the assistance of the Municipality of Rome, and was carried out through the collaboration of some private companies and institutions and a large group of volunteers with advanced organizational skill in the sports sector.
