The Italian Tennis Federation (FITP) and the governing body of men’s tennis recently declared that the ATP Finals will continue to be held in Italy until 2030. This decision came after Turin had a good run of events. Turin was originally supposed to host the season-ending tournament until 2025.
Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP’s chairman, stated: “The ATP Finals has firmly established its legacy in Italy as a premier global sporting event… Together with FITP, we aim to continue enhancing the experience for players and fans.”
This season’s competition attracted over 183,000 spectators, with all 15 sessions of the eight-day event sold out due to the participation of Italy’s home favourite, world number one Jannik Sinner. Sinner defeated American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the final round, becoming the first Italian to win the tournament.
The prize fund for the event grew to an all-time high of $15.25 million.
