Overview

In early July 2026 Turin prepared to host its flagship women’s ITF event. The 16th edition of the Ma‑Bo tournament, a $30,000 W35 competition, was presented at the Nord Tennis Master Club, featuring top‑300 players such as France’s Amandine Monnot and Brazil’s Gabriela Ce. Qualifying rounds saw five Italian players earn main‑draw spots, and the main draw produced several upsets, including Monnot’s loss to an Australian challenger. Around the same time, the Royal Club Torino concluded its 66th "Racchetta d’Oro" amateur tournament with an exhibition doubles match featuring former pros. In Sicily, the Country Time Club in Palermo hosted the 37th Palermo Ladies Open, a WTA 125 event with a $115,000 prize fund, attracting Italy’s Tyra Caterina Grant (World No 141) and former top‑50 star Lucia Bronzetti. Wild cards were awarded to four Italian hopefuls, and director Giorgio Cammarata highlighted the tournament’s role in promoting Sicily’s image. On 15 July the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation announced that the Nitto ATP Finals will remain in Turin for the 2027 season, extending the five‑year stay that began in 2021 and confirming the event will stay through at least 2030. The decision cited record‑breaking ticket sales – the 2025 edition sold 85 % of seats, generated €591 million and attracted 229 879 spectators, a 93 % rise since 2021 – and planned venue upgrades: the Inalpi Arena will expand to over 13 500 seats, a Pininfarada‑designed Skywalk will link the arena to the Fan Village, and a visible training court will be added for fans. ATP president Andrea Gaudenzi called the tournament a “flagship tournament that attracts a global audience,” while FITP president Angelo Binaghi praised Turin’s “extraordinary” hosting. Further remarks on 17 July reiterated the commitment, emphasizing continuity and confidence in the city and region.
