The ATP Finals will continue to call Italy home until 2030, according to an announcement by the men's tennis governing body and the Italian Tennis Federation (FITP) on Sunday. Initially planned to stay in Turin until 2025, the tournament's tenure got an extension due to its remarkable achievements.
