TheNapoli Tennis Cup (formerly theCapri Watch Cup) is a professionaltennis tournament played on outdoorclay courts. It is currently part of theAssociation of Tennis Professionals (ATP)Challenger Tour. It is held annually at the Tennis Club Napoli inNaples, Italy, since 1995. The event was given a single-yearATP 250 license in 2022 due to the cancellation of tournaments in China because of the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic.[1]
The tournament is the modern iteration of one of the oldest tennis championships in Italy, theCampionato Partenopeo (Parthenopean Championship), which for men's singles was first contested in 1905. Over the years the men's tournament has been combined with other trophies, such asCoppa Gordon Bennet (1907–1910 and 1937),Coppa Reale (1912–1915),Coppa del Municipio di Napoli (1926–1938),Campionato dell’Europa Centrale (1937–1938),Coppa Città di Napoli (1953–1970),Coppa Carlo D'Avalos (1970).
At the time of the amateur tennis the Naples tournament gained increasing importance over the years, becoming one of the pivotal events of the spring season of the courts of Europe and a decisive step in preparation for theInternationals of Italy andthose of France. Following the affirmation of professionalism, the tournament lost its relevance and disappeared, rising from the mid-1990s and finding a place within the category ofATP Challenger.
The women's tournament (singles and doubles), played simultaneously with the men's tournament until 1970, now no longer takes place.
From the beginning, the tournament is played on the courts of theCircolo del Tennis di Napoli, which occupies an area near the ancientVilla Reale di Chiaia, a few meters from theGulf of Naples and minutes from downtown and historic centre.
