ATP launch app to track tennis' players carbon footprint with approval from Rublev and Thiem

Andrey Rublev and Dominic Thiem expressed their gratitude for the initiative that will track the carbon footprint of tennis players.

ATP’s new app Carbon Tracke aims to usher in a new era of sustainability in the world of tennis. Considering the extensive travel undertaken by tennis players throughout the year, the application seeks to track the carbon footprint left by each player and inspire them to make more eco-friendly journeys.

ATP partnered with Infosys to create the application, which features a comprehensive dashboard that allows players to view their carbon emissions over multiple seasons. It aims to assist players in analyzing their travel options and promoting tennis sustainability. The ATP also has plans to expand the initiative to other sports in the future.

Athletes will also have access to resources and questionnaires to help them adopt sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.

."Tennis is a global sport. Where we compete for titles all year round. Which means flights all season long, all over the world. It’s part of what we do. But we're also part of a planet-conscious sport and we have a role to play here," they wrote.

"With ATP’s brand new Carbon Tracker app, we're tracking our miles. We’re tracking our impact, and we’re supporting climate projects around the world. This is just the first leg towards more sustainable travel on tour and protecting all the amazing places we play."

Association of Tennis Professionals announced in a video the launch of the application. Several tennis stars, including Dominic Thiem, Andrey Rublev, Cameron Norrie, and Emil Ruusuvuori, have expressed their commitment to track and offset 100% of their emissions in 2023.

"Great project, great job @atptour," Thiem wrote on his Instagram story.

"Carbon tracker @infosys @atptour," Rublev shared on Instagram too.
