For the first time, the ATP Champions Tour will visit the Italian city of Turin. After a popular run in Rome alongside the ATP Masters 1000 event, the Champions event in Turin will give a whole new audience of tennis fans a chance to watch great players up-close.

Turin is a major Italian City situated in the Piedmont region in the North of the country, on the banks of the Po River, and surrounded by the Alpine Arch. It is often called ‘the capital of the Alps.’ It is the fourth largest city in Italy, with a population of 1.7 million, and is a major Italian cultural and business centre. It is also often called ‘the automobile capital of Italy’ since it is home to the headquarters of Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo.

The city is also famous for its two football teams, Juventus FC and Torino FC, the former being one of the most successful football clubs in international history. Turin was also the host city for the most recent WInter Olympic Games in 2006.
