Tournament Info
Those who prefer to stay in Europe for a few more weeks after Wimbledon before taking part in the US summer hardcourt swing can compete at the XXV Italiacom Open in Palermo.
Spain's Anabel Medina Garrigues has the event record with five titles. Other past champions include Dinara Safina, Anastasia Myskina and Mary Pierce, who captured the first of her 18 career titles here as a 16-year-old in 1991 - the second year of the tournament's existence.
The event is staged at the Country Time Club 7 km from the city center. Located in northwest Sicily in southern Italy, Palermo is noted for its history, culture, architecture and cuisine.
