(FILES) Italy's Jasmine Paolini (L) and Angelo Binaghi, President of the Italian Tennis Federation, celebrate after victory in her women's singles final match against US's Coco Gauff during the WTA Rome Open tennis tournament at Foro Italico in Rome on May 17, 2025. Angelo Binaghi has dragged Italian tennis from the doldrums to a golden age since taking charge of the country's federation (FITP) a quarter of a century ago, with Jannik Sinner just the very best of some of the world's top players. But the organiser of the Italian Open, which runs in Rome until May 17, 2026, has an even bigger goal -- breaking what he calls the Grand Slam monopoly and hosting a fifth major tournament in his home nation.
