The Cincinnati Open<\/a>, the Qatar ExxonMobil Open<\/a> in Doha and the Nordea Open<\/a> in Bastad were named Tournaments of the Year in their respective categories for the 2025 ATP Awards based on the results of player surveys.<\/p>\n The Cincinnati event was named the ATP Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year for the first time after completing a $260 million transformation at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. Doha received an upgrade of its own, becoming an ATP 500 event this season and leading the voting at that level, while the seaside Bastad event was named the ATP 250 Tournament of the Year for the 13th time.<\/p>\n The Cincinnati Open<\/a> lived up to the considerable hype after doubling its footprint to more than 40 acres, turning its grounds into an unforgettable campus that blends elite tennis with the atmosphere of an amusement park. The $260 million investment was made collectively with the City of Mason, Warren County and the State of Ohio.<\/p>\n In its 126th year, the event welcomed more players than ever \u2014 96 in the singles main draw and 32 in doubles \u2014 as it expanded to 12 days, while also creating one of the most fan-friendly environments on Tour.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are incredibly honored to be named ATP Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year for the first time in our history,\u201d said tournament director Bob Moran. \u201cThis recognition is a reflection of the vision and commitment of Ben and Kelly Navarro, who set out to create a best-in-class experience not just for fans, but for the players who make this sport so special. This award is a true team achievement, and we\u2019re grateful to the ATP and the players for recognizing that effort.\u201d<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> captured this year\u2019s Cincinnati men\u2019s singles title, while Rajeev Ram<\/a> and Nikola Mektic<\/a> claimed the doubles crown at the August event.<\/p>\n The Qatar ExxonMobil Open<\/a>, a six-time honouree in the ATP 250 category, raised its exceptional standards in tournament organisation, player services and hospitality to mark its elevation to the ATP 500 level with Tournament of the Year honours.<\/p>\n The February tournament\u2019s upgrade further strengthened its global standing \u2014 attracting an elite player field that included Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and Novak Djokovic<\/a> \u2014 and enhanced its impact within the region and beyond.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are truly honoured to receive this award for best tournament in the ATP 500 category,\u201d said tournament director Karim Alami<\/a>. \u201cThis recognition reflects the passion, dedication and teamwork that define our event. From our incredible players and loyal fans to our committed sponsors and staff, everyone contributed to creating a world-class experience both on and off the court. <\/p>\n \u201cThis award inspires us to continue raising the bar and delivering an unforgettable tournament for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n Andrey Rublev<\/a> won the Doha men\u2019s singles title and the event\u2019s coveted \u201cGolden Falcon\u201d trophy, beating Jack Draper<\/a> in a three-set final. Julian Cash<\/a> and Lloyd Glasspool<\/a> won an all-British doubles final against Joe Salisbury<\/a> and Neal Skupski<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Nordea Open<\/a>, voted ATP 250 Tournament of the Year for 11 consecutive years from 2002-12, has now won the award in two of the past three seasons. The Swedish event, one of the most scenic on the ATP Tour calendar, also topped the voting in 2023, when it celebrated its 75th anniversary.<\/p>\n “This is great news and we are of course happy and thankful. Our ambition is always to give the best services and hospitality to all our guests; players, partners and spectators,\u201d said CEO & Managing Director Christer Hult. \u201cThis is confirmation that the team is doing a great job and it inspires us to continue developing the tournament even more. A big thanks to the players, our organisation and the ATP support team.”<\/p>\n Sixth-seeded Italian Luciano Darderi<\/a> won this year\u2019s Bastad singles title in July, while doubles top seeds Guido Andreozzi<\/a> and Sander Arends<\/a> won the doubles final in a Match Tie-break.<\/p>\n This year, the ATP is unveiling changes to the ATP Awards, designed to enhance the prestige and excitement of the season\u2019s most celebrated honours. <\/p>\n![\"Who's](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/atp-awards-2024_fans-favourite_728x90.gif\")
