"I arrive at the lobby after playing my match at 5 pm and find all my belongings and my wife's in the lobby"- Further chaos at Napoli Cup
ATP
The tennis event in Napoli will be remembered by fans and players alike but not for good as we saw many problems.
Players complained about the court leading up to it forcing the organizers to hold the qualifiers at a venue that wasn't part of the complex used for the event. They reworked the surface to a better standard but had to postpone the main draw by a day as it only started on Tuesday.
Now we have some more shocking news from the event as a player taking part in the event was thrown out of his hotel as he was playing a match. Nicolas Barrientos was playing in a match when his belongings were taken out of the room and left in front of it with the player shocked upon return.

He quickly recored a video explaining:
"This filled the cup! How can this happen in an ATP 250,
not even in a Challenger had it happened to me, well I think it
happened to my partner in a Challenger organized by the same company as
this 250.
Napoli ATP250, I arrive at the lobby after playing my match
at 5 pm and find all my belongings and my wife's in the lobby, poorly
packed, various things lying on the floor."
He continued:

"I check my email and see an
email that arrived at 4 pm while I was playing, notifying me that I had
to change hotels again. They had already changed me once on the second
day of my arrival at the tournament."
Barrientos further added:
"I think I don't even need to mention the fact that the courts that
everyone knows, and the qualifier and first round of doubles were
played at a club 40 minutes from the official club. I hope that the ATP
Tour will take measures to prevent players from having to go through
these situations. Especially when the same incident is repeated in
tournaments organized by the same company."

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
