2025 ATP Tour Schedule Includes Expanded Events in Cincinnati, Canada
Dallas Open also gets upgraded status on worldwide tour
Posted On: March 22, 2024 By :The ATP Tour tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati will increase to 12 days each next season and events in Dallas, Doha and Munich will be upgraded to the 500 level as part of changes for the 2025 men’s tennis schedule.
The National Bank Open in Canada and the Cincinnati Open follow the Masters 1000 tournaments in Rome, Madrid and Shanghai in stretching to 12 days. That other trio all expanded in 2023. It means that as of next season, seven of the nine ATP Masters events will last nearly two weeks instead of one.
There will be additional weeks featuring side-by-side ATP 500 events as well. The ATP Tour will have 60 tournaments in 29 countries next year overall as tennis is at something of a crossroads, with proposals to alter the way the sport is organized being discussed by its leaders.
Other changes include moving the Hamburg Open from July to May, shifting the event in Los Cabos from February to July and switching the Cordoba Open to Mallorca, Spain, as part of the lead-in to Wimbledon. The Estoril tournament is no longer on the calendar, but the tour will “try to find a solution for the highly regarded event to take place in 2025, and beyond.”
“Next season will see yet more enhancements to the ATP Tour’s premium product across a streamlined calendar,” ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said. “This is central to everything we’ve been building under OneVision, which ultimately aims to create the best possible experience for our fans. Last season we broke new ground, welcoming a record five million fans on site across our events. This is just one indication of how positively the sport is trending and we believe there’s incredible potential to still be unlocked.”
