The all-Italian singles final capped off a dominant weekend for the Italians. In the doubles event, Pietro Orlando Fellin and Giovanni Oradini also lifted the trophy after a convincing 6-3, 6-1 victory over the Croatian-Bosnian and Herzegovinian pairing of Emanuel Ivanisevic and Ivan Biletic.

The tournament was successfully staged despite the exceptionally high temperatures that marked the entire competition week, serving as a successful dress rehearsal ahead of the 36th edition of the Plava Laguna Croatia Open.
