Indian Wells, Queen's and Bastad voted ATP Tournaments of the Year

The ATP announced the 2023 ATP Tournaments of the Year, an award determined by the votes of the players on the Tour, highlighting the best tournaments in the 250, 500, and 1000 categories. This year's winners are the ATP 250 Bastad Open, ATP 500 Queen’s Club Championship, and Masters 1000 BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells.

Coincidentally, a tournament from each surface (hardcourt, grass, and clay) was honored, taking into account players' opinions on facilities, food, organization, and amenities at the tournaments. In the winning tournaments, Carlos Alcaraz secured two titles, and Andrey Rublev won one.

Alcaraz won the trophy at BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells, where he claimed his third Masters 1000 title of his career in March during the 'Sunshine Double,' defeating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-2. The tournament director, Tommy Haas, commented on the award: "We are honored to see the ATP players vote Indian Wells again as their favorite Masters 1000 level stop of the year. This award reflects the dedicated support from all of our wonderful tournament staff, volunteers, staff and so many others who bring the BNP Paribas Open to life every year and contribute to the sustained success of one-of-a-kind event.”

During the grass court season, the world No. 2 claimed the trophy at Queen's with a victory over Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4. This was the only grass court preparation tournament on the way to his Wimbledon title. The tournament's Digital, Technology, and Events Director, Chris Pollard, expressed gratitude for the recognition:

“We are absolutely delighted to have been voted ATP 500 Tournament of the Year by the players again this year. The LTA takes great pride in continuously improving the experience of the players who take part in the tournament, and this award is recognition of the hard work of the LTA event team and the collaborative way in which they work with the Queen’s Club, the ATP and a number of sponsors and suppliers to deliver a world-class event”,

The third tournament saw world No. 5 Andrey Rublev emerge as the champion in the 75th anniversary of the Bastad Open. The Russian defeated Casper Ruud in the final with a score of 7-6(3), 6-0, securing his 14th trophy and second of the year. He expressed his happiness and pride: "The whole team and all volunteers are extremely happy and proud to receive this award. Our ambition is to provide all players with the highest quality of service both on and off the court regardless of their ranking. We want all players to be treated as if they are number 1."

“This award is a proof that it has been appreciated by all the players who played the Nordea Open this year and I would like to thank all the players for their appreciation and welcome everyone back to Bastad 2024”, said Christer Hult, CEO and Managing Director of the Nordea Open.”
