ATP and the Italian Tennis Federation have officially confirmed the extension of the agreement that will keep the ATP Finals in Italy until 2030. An agreement that would include a change of location - perhaps in 2026 - from Turin to Milan.
This follows the resounding success of the public and paying guests in Italy, which this year has reached truly exceptional levels, both in terms of crowds and revenue. The year-end Masters 2024 attracted a record crowd of over 183,000 spectators, with all 15 of the 15 scheduled playing sessions sold out, during the 8 days. The prize money in 2024 reached $15.25 million: an all-time record for the tournament. With another five years of partnership, the ATP and the Italian Tennis Federation aim to continue their progress, capitalizing on Italys position as one of the strongest and most established tennis markets in the world.
The ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said in a statement: Over the past four years, Italy has provided extraordinary hospitality to our most prestigious event, with the vision of creating a truly special experience for both players and fans. We thank the Fitp and all the event partners for their support over the past four years. We look forward to continuing to raise the bar together.
Angelo Binaghi, President of the Italian Tennis Federation echoed Gaudenzi, explaining in a statement: Tennis has a special place in the history and culture of this country. The Finals are much loved by Italian fans and this bond is now stronger than ever thanks to Jannik Sinners position as world No. 1. We look forward with excitement, confident in the knowledge that this event will continue to grow even more in the years to come.
