All courts are regularly illuminated and, except for the central one, covered during the winter season. The complex also houses the offices of the San Marino Tennis Federation, a gym, a physiotherapy center, and a restaurant. Next to the structure stands a synthetic grass football facility.[3][4][5]
The Fonte dell'Ovo courts have hosted the annual San Marino Internationals (ATP Challenger Tour circuit in 1988 and from 2001 to 2014 and ATP International Series from 1989 to 2000), OPEN tournaments on the Italian scene, an ITF under-18 tournament, Davis Cup matches, and the 2001 edition of the Games of the Small States of Europe. In 2017, it will once again host the tennis matches of the 17th edition of the Games of the Small States.[6]
Since 2009, the center has also been the headquarters of the San Marino Tennis Academy, led by Giorgio Galimberti.[7]
