We had known for a long time that the ATP 250 in Newport would no longer be part of the regular calendar starting in 2025, an event held since 1976 that is famous for being the last one of each summer grass tour. The issue is that Wimbledon should be that last tournament of the tour, as do the other three Grand Slams, so the circuit came up with different plans for Newport. Eliminate the tournament?
Far from it, and here comes the news. Starting in 2025, the American tournament will become a combined event for men and women from July 6 to 13, bringing together in the same week an ATP Challenger 125 and a WTA 125K, thus increasing the amount of tennis, although experiencing a noticeable downgrade in terms of status. Given the circumstances, the best possible option to survive within the calendar.
Professional tennis isn't going anywhere😏
