Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said the NSW Government had won the hosting rights for the ATP Cup finals matches until 2022 and would also host group matches alongside other Australian cities.
“Our city offers excellent facilities, first class hospitality and has a proud track record of hosting major tennis events,” Mr Marshall said.
“This is another coup for our State, not only for athletes and sporting fans but the wider NSW community who are set to win from the estimated $36.5 million injection into our local economy.”
Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said, “The NSW Government has made a commitment to bid for 10 World Cups for the next decade and we’re well on our way to reaching our goal only six months after embarking on our ambitious target.
“Tennis continues to form the cornerstone of our country’s sporting landscape, capturing the hearts and minds of sport fans each summer and attracting international spectators to our locally-hosted matches."
