Before the ATP Finals move to Torino in 2021, we'll take a quick look back on what happened in O2 Arena in London during 12 years.
In 2009, the ATP Finals moved to London after 4 consecutive years in Shanghai. The tournament stayed in the British capital for 12 years, and symbolically it was won by the Russian in its first and the last edition.
In 2009, it was Nikolay Davydenko who lifted his first and only ATP Finals trophy, and in 2020, Daniil Medvedev became the ATP Finals champion for the first time. In between, Roger Federer lifted the trophy twice, Novak Djokovic four times and Andy Murray, Grigor Dimitrov, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas added one triumph each.
The ATP Finals in London was not only a success for the players, but also fans liked to watch the season finale every year in London. Over the 12 years, there were more than 850 million people that watched ATP Finals in more than 175 territories. Almost $80 million in prize money was paid to the players and the ATP Finals in London was visited by almost 3 million fans.
Moreover, more than $2 million was raised for the charity and there were more than 50 000 points played in singles and doubles together and players spent more than 34 000 hours on court. In total, there were 101 players that appeared on the court in O2 Arena from 36 nationalities with Stefanos Tsitsipas being the youngest singles champion in London.
