Rumours are spreading about a Masters 1000 event taking place in Saudi Arabia in
January 2025.
目前谣传沙特阿拉伯将在2025年一月
拥有自己的大师赛
Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis Federation, has fuelled speculat
ion, saying, “I hope that the Masters 1000 they will have in January 2025 will
satisfy their “tennis cravings”.”
意大利网协总裁Angelo Binaghi近期提到此事
It’s worth noting that while the ATP Tour is yet to confirm or deny whether Sau
di Arabia will receive a Masters 1000 event, Binaghi was the first to announce t
he news about Saudi Arabia hosting the ATP Next Gen Finals in 2023.
ATP尚未对此做出确认和否决
但Angelo Binaghi也是当初最先出来说今年的 Next Gen Finals会在沙国办的人
The immediate question that talk of a Masters 1000 in January raises is how such
an event would work with the current tennis calendar.
Typically, players will head to either Australia or New Zealand in the first two
weeks of the year to play one of several ATP events as warm ups ahead of the Au
stralian Open in mid-January. If a Masters 1000 event was to occur in Saudi Arab
ia in January, this would represent additional travel for players, impacting the
ir preparation heading into the year’s first Grand Slam.
但第一个会面对到的问题是
一月这时段大部分选手都在澳洲、新西兰备战澳网
Questions also exist around whether or not this new Masters 1000 event would rep
lace a current tournament, or come in as a 10th Masters-level event on the ATP T
our.
以及是否会取代掉一个大师赛
或是直接增额成第十个大师赛
