Turin's Pala Alpitour stadium was named on Wednesday April 24,2019 as the new venue
for the ATP Finals from 2021-2025, drawing a line under London's long
tenure as host of the year-ending tournament.
Men's governing body the ATP said in a statement on that Turin was picked ahead of Manchester, Singapore, Tokyo and London, marking the first time in the tournament's 50-year history that it will be staged in Italy.
