Italy will continue to stage the ATP Finals until at least 2030 after a new five-year hosting deal was agreed, although it is unclear which city will be used.
The finale of the men’s tennis season has taken place in Turin since 2021, when the Pala Alpitour arena (pictured) replaced The O2 in London, which had hosted the event since 2009.
Turin’s five-year deal had been due to expire after the 2025 edition, but a new agreement has been reached between the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP).
The deal will keep the ATP Finals in Italy until 2030, but the ATP said that location options beyond 2025 are “under evaluation”, with further updates to be provided in due course.
The event could remain in Turin or relocate to a new arena being built in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The Milan arena is due to be ready by the end of 2025 and will have a capacity of up to 16,000, making it Italy’s largest indoor venue.
The Athletic has reported that Nitto, the title sponsor of the ATP Finals, has been pushing for the event to be relocated from Turin to Milan.
This year’s ATP Finals concluded yesterday (Sunday), with Italy’s Jannik Sinner defeating Taylor Fritz of the US. This year’s event attracted an audience of more than 183,000, with all 15 sessions sold out across eight days.
ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said: “Over the past four years, Italy has shown itself as an incredible host of our most prestigious event, with the vision to create a truly special experience for both players and fans. Thank you to FITP and all event partners for their support over the past four years. We look forward to continuing to raise the bar together.”
FITP president Angelo Binaghi added: “Tennis has a special place in the history and culture of this country. The Nitto ATP Finals are treasured by Italian fans, and this connection is now stronger than ever with Jannik Sinner as the World No.1. We look ahead with excitement, confident in the knowledge that this event will continue to grow even stronger in the years ahead.”
Turin was selected to host the ATP Finals from 2021 to 2025 ahead of London, Manchester, Tokyo and Singapore.
