Last Wednesday, the body in charge of controlling world tennis confirmed that Dallas, Doha and Munich will become ATP 500 starting in 2025, events that have an average of 15 fewer editions than the Argentine one, to the detriment of the Buenos Aires request. In addition, they reported that Atlanta, Lyon and Newport will withdraw in the same year.
Upon confirmation, Schwartzman did not ignore the issue and wrote a message on his X account (on Twitter): “Terrible decision by ATP… to continue promoting countries and tours that already have all kinds of tournaments and facilities. And not so to choose a tour and region of the world that has so much history in tennis and that only has 4 tournaments a year. “Buenos Aires made a very big effort.”

Although the Argentine tournament had also confirmed in its request to the ATP that it would increase the budget required to occupy the 500 rank, it will have to continue waiting to receive the well-deserved change in category.
