"It’s a tournament that has historically moved around and so I’m very excited to see it move to Turin from 2021. It’s still a few years away but I know that the players will be very excited to compete there, and I also hope to be part of what will be a very special event.”
Chiara Appendino, Mayor of Turin, added: "We are extremely proud that Turin has been chosen to host the ATP Finals 2021-2025 as a sport has long been a significant part of the history and the culture of our city. As a City, we will come together to harness the know-how of a vast range of local experts in organizing international sporting events and we are confident that our unique combination of passion and experience will deliver opportunities to appreciate this exhilarating sport in sustainable and innovative ways.
