"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

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.

"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."
