All the matches valid for the pre-qualifications to the Internazionali BNL d’Italia 2022 took place and awarded the Wild Cards for Main Draws and Qualifications.
In the deciding match for the two Main Draw wild cards on the men’s side, Francesco Passaro defeated Giovanni Fonio with a double 6-4, while Matteo Arnaldi got the better of Francesco Forti with a 6-3 6-3. For the two losers, however, there will be the chance to play in the qualifications, as they had already guaranteed a Wild Card by reaching the final stage.
Luca Nardi and Gian Marco Ferrari took two of the four qualifications wild cards already on Wednesday available for the men’s draw.
On the women’s side, Nuria Brancaccio, Eleonora Alvisi, Stefania Rubini and Angelica Raggi took the victories on Wednesday that gave them access to the qualification’s draw.
The doubles’ pre-qualifications have also got their winners: Matteo Arnaldi and Francesco Passaro doubled up their individual performances by claiming the victory as a pair and adding a doubles’ Wild Card for the main draw to their singles’ ones. On the women’s side, the experience of Clauda Giovine and Anastasia Grymalska had the better of youngsters Alvisi/Pigato.
