ATP mn calendar: disappear the traditional tournament permanently, the level should go up

The most uproar was the decision to cancel the tournament in Newport, a tradition that dates back to 1976. In Rhode Island, the International Tennis Hall of Fame was also held, with the legends of the sport first entering during the event. In the classic term, the ceremony was held for the last five years.

The communications editor of the International Tennis Dream of Fame, Megan Erbesov, explained to The Newport Daily News that the tournament paid for its place in the calendar: the ATP wanted to make room after Wimbledon.

Organizations decide in the moment how they will proceed according to There are also WTA tournaments and exhibitions in cooperation with the ATP. The second freedom, however, can be found during the solemn ceremony for entering the Dream of Glory, which will not be firmly bound to a single contemporaneous week. But we definitely want to hit the summer deadline, said Erbesov.

He does not think about the song of the ceremony, which Helena Sukov last spoke of in 2018. We want to raise all the new women in Newport, assured Erbesov, who realizes that in five years there will also be famous names: Serena Williams and Roger Federer.

We will continue our cooperation with the International Tennis Hall of Fame, one of the most important cities of our sport, in the years to come, wrote Eric Starelli from the American ATP.

In the United States, the tournament in Atlanta disappeared, on the European continent the association cut off the clay business in Lyon.

All the changes are part of the long-term One Vision strategy, which aims to invest more than 50 million dollars in men’s tennis over five years. We want to move the set level again, explained ATP president Andrea Gaudenzi.

From the ATP 250 to the ATP 500 category, tournaments in Dallas, Doha and Munich, where extensive reconstruction of the arena will take place, are scheduled to take place. The changes will affect the Masters business, the association would like to extend at least some of them to 12 days.
