BREAKING: the ATP Finals will leave Turin to change venue

11/09/2024 09:00 AM

A few hours before the start of the ATP Finals 2024, according to Italian media reports, the year-end Master will remain in Italy until 2029 or 2030, but the tournament will change location. The next two years there will be confirmation that the event will still be held in Turin, but after that they will change location.

As reported by the Italian media Il Sole 24 Ore, the year-end Master should move from the Inalpi Arena in Turin to the Arena Santa Giulia in Milan. This is a new facility whose inauguration is scheduled for 2026 on the sidelines of the Winter Olympic Games. According to Italian media, the official announcement of the change of location could arrive already during this edition, perhaps on the day of the final.

The nature of the Finals is that of a traveling tournament and, after the years in Turin following the years at the O2 Arena in London, it is natural to expect a change of venue. Although the choice of ATP to move from Turin to Milan (and therefore always in Italy) has attracted some criticism, as many expected the tournament to move to another Country.
