The qualifying matches of Saturday at the ATP 250 event in Napoli have been postponed to Sunday due to terrible conditions at the event.
The problem were the courts with all players complaining about it forcing the organizers to find a solution. In videos posted on social media, the courts could be seen with all kinds of bumps and uneven parts making it really unsafe to play for the players.
According to reporter Jose Morgado, the qualifying matches will be played tomorrow 'somewhere' in the city as the courts will undergo a revision in hopes of making the ATP-level ready until the main draw starts. It's supposed to start on Monday.

Wow. A thread about how BAD the courts are in Napoli. Players refused to play today and Qualies gonna be played somewhere in the city. Heard they will try to fix and ‘repaint’ the courts till Monday, when the main draw starts. What a mess.
