Milan's Iconic San Siro Stadium May Host ATP Grass-Court Event from 2028

A new grass-court ATP 250 tournament is set to debut in Milan in 2028, with the historic San Siro stadium being considered as a potential venue. The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation has acquired the rights to the tournament, previously held in Brussels, and plans to stage it annually in June. While the exact location is yet to be confirmed, San Siro's massive capacity and northern Italy's climate make it an attractive option. This development is part of Italy's growing presence in professional tennis, which already includes hosting the ATP Finals in Turin and the Rome Masters on clay. Additionally, the federation aims to elevate the Rome tournament to Grand Slam status, rivaling major events like Indian Wells. With Jannik Sinner striving to become the first Italian man to win the singles title at the Foro Italico in 50 years, the future of Italian tennis looks promising.
