Genova Challenger Goes Green

The 15th edition of the Aon Open Challenger Memorial Giorgio Messina has turned green with a host of initiatives focusing on healthy living and a clean environment. It’s all part of a long-term project for Valletta Cambiaso Park, home of the tournament in Genova, Italy. Waste disposal company Esosport has kicked off a project known as “Recycle your shoes, repave your way”, for the collection and recycling of worn-out sneakers.

The #ATPChallenger has taken an environmentally friendly approach. pic.twitter.com/7WIbWb2A3M — ATP Challenger Tour (@ATPChallenger) September 9,...
