On Wednesday the ATP Tour announced changes to its future calendars, starting in 2025.
As part of the ATP’s “OneVision” strategy to enhance the calendar and overall product, tournaments in Dallas, Doha, and Munich will be upgraded from 250 status to 500. Each of those three events will offer approximately $2.8 million in prize money while contributing to a growing ATP 500 Bonus Pool. In total, the three upgrades are expected to produce $51.7 million in additional player compensation over a five-year period.
“OneVision is all about raising the bar for tennis, and unlocking new investment in the game,” ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi commented. “We’re thrilled to have our Dallas, Doha and Munich events step up to ATP 500 status–delivering improved standards for players and most importantly an enhanced product for our fans.”
There will now be 16 tournaments of the ATP 500 variety starting in 2025: Dallas, Doha, Munich, Acapulco, Barcelona, Basel, Beijing, Dubai, Halle, Hamburg, London, Rio de Janeiro, Rotterdam, Tokyo, Vienna, and Washington, D.C.
As a result of those upgrades, 250 tournaments in Atlanta, Lyon, and Newport are coming to an end.
The ATP is also in talks with the Saudi Tennis Federation to host a Masters 1000 tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia starting in 2025. It would take place two weeks before the Australian Open.
Doha definitely deserving
No more Atlanta?….Ouch!!!
Where can I find the dates for Indian Wells ATP for 2025?
should be the exact same as 2024
Dont see why Dallas should get this at the expense of a classy tournament like Newport .
Munich and Doha I agree with . But to shorten the grass season , no.
It’s too short anyway, and tennis should be about being able to play on different surfaces. There’s something about the green….
Newport was a nice way nd down after Wimby and gave us a extra week of the grass.Plus the history
wind down
