its foundation partner of the PL Open International- Corriere.it

May, in Rome, the month of tennis. After the Internationals, this year extended to 12 days, here is also the $25,000 ITF tournament, the PL Open International scheduled at the Forum Sport Center, which will have an exceptional partner: the Novak Djokovic Foundation, the foundation that bears the name of the current number one in the world and which has important numbers at an international level, having given support to almost 54,000 children and 8,670 families in Serbia and abroad. We are honored to work together with the Novak Djokovic Foundation – the words of Petr Losev, founder of PL Open – in a project that combines competitive sport, healthy values, social and sustainability.

Waiting at the Foro Italico

Djokovic, one of the most awaited names at the Foro Italico, has had an Italian staff at his service for years: among these, also the athletic trainer Marco Panichi, also project manager of PL Open. This sport is, for me, a continuous search for happiness – he says -. Around tennis there is a social message that can be highlighted and I am proud to be able to boast two exceptional partners such as the Novak Djokovic Foundation and Peter Pan Association, foundations that do standing ovation work for children. We are proud to have them by our side.

The tournament and events

The tournament will be played from 28 May to 3 June and will be accompanied by various collateral events. A VIP tournament for charity will be staged on Wednesday 31 May, while the outfit and racket with which Djokovic triumphed at the last Australian Open will be auctioned off at the gala dinner on Sunday 4 June. The evening will be attended by Jelena Djokovic, wife of the Serbian champion, and the director of the foundation Maja Jovanovic.
