Wild card for Palermo tennis player Giorgia Pedone for the main draw at the Rome Internationals
Explain me the following article briefly:
Wild card for the main draw of the Rome Internationals for the Palermo tennis player Giorgia Pedone, 19 years old, currently ranked 276 in the WTA rankings and the flagship player of the A1 team of Ct Palermo, the club where she has been training since she was under 10.
Pedone, coached since the beginning of 2023 by Omar Giacalone from Mazara (the athletic trainer is Piero Intile), has already played on the courts of the Foro Italico in 2022 and 2023, competing in the pre-qualifying tournament. This time, however, the emotion will be different as she will be playing for the first time in the prestigious main draw where all the top players will be present. For the second consecutive year, a Sicilian tennis player will be participating. Remember that last May it was the turn of Dalila Spiteri, a player from Licata born in 1997, who won the pre-qualifying rounds.
The young promising Palermo tennis player (number 8 in the Italian ranking) has reached the semifinals of the $75,000 ITF tournament in Florianopolis as her best result in these first 4 months of the season.
In her career, she has a victory at the $25,000 ITF tournament in Santa Margherita di Pula and a final at the $60,000 ITF tournament in Rome at the Reale Circolo Canottieri Tevere Remo.
Pedone will train on her home courts at Ct Palermo until April 27th. Before playing in the Rome WTA 1000, she will participate next week in either the $100,000 tournament in Wiesbaden, Germany, or the WTA 125 in Lleida, Spain.
