No changes in the leadership of the ATP. Andrea Gaudenzi has been reelected as the president of the men's tour until 2029, commencing his third term in a position he took over in 2020. "It is an honor to continue to serve the ATP, an organization that has shaped my career since my playing days. Reflecting on what we have achieved, I see a sport with stronger foundations than ever, supported by record growth that reflects the potential of tennis," stated the Italian on the ATP's website.

In the extensive press conference granted by Andrea Gaudenzi this Thursday in Turin, where he analyzed in detail the present and future of the ATP calendar, the possibility of granting two byes to the best players in the world at Masters 1000 tournaments was hinted at. In order to reduce the competition time for the top favorites, an exemption of two matches would be granted in these tournaments, giving them direct access to the third round.

We analyze the tremendous threat, or rather certainty of disappearance, looming over ATP 250 tournaments. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
As the entity that governs and structures the men's circuit, the ATP presents a rather significant earnings history. Journalist Daniel Kaplan has revealed, thanks to the 2024 tax accounts, the total earnings of the organization that governs the world of tennis: $293.7 million, 105% more than what the WTA earned ($142.6 million). However, the ATP distributed a smaller amount of that money to its employees than the WTA did: $25.3 million, which is less than the $26.9 million of the women's circuit. However, perhaps the juiciest information lies in the total salary of Andrea Gaudenzi: the president of the ATP is the only man in the company whose annual earnings reach seven figures, pocketing $1.7 million in 2024. Quite a sum.

Finals during the week, longer preseason, two-week Masters 1000, fewer 250 and 500 tournaments... a revolution is coming to the ATP. That's what its president has revealed in Turin.
Good news for Italy and bad news in the same line. The good news is that Turin will host the Nitto ATP Finals also in 2026, confirming the renewal for another season. This afternoon, Andrea Gaudenzi, the highest authority within the ATP, communicated this from the tournament. And the bad news? Starting from 2027, there is an uncertain future where no one really knows what direction things might take. Will they stay in Italy? Will they remain in Europe? We will have to wait a little longer to find out, but for now, it's clear that Turin is the right place.

The ATP has officially confirmed the signing of an agreement with Saudi Arabia through its sovereign fund, PIF, to host a Masters 1000 tournament starting in 2028.
The complaints from many tennis players and fans regarding the proliferation of two-week Masters 1000 tournaments are becoming more intense and numerous, but Andrea Gaudenzi, ATP director, is clear that they want to continue in this direction and there is no turning back. In statements collected by universtennis.com, he explained the benefits of this competition format.
"These tournaments increase the time fans spend in the venues and generate the necessary income to drive the circuit at all levels. If this model is maintained for five or ten years, we will see an exponential growth in tournament and player incomes. Our priority is to better pay the players, and we have already doubled the prize money in Challengers compared to 2022. It's the major tournaments that enable these improvements," he warned.
