ATP Finals will remain in Turin through 2026 but political issues threaten future editions
TURIN, Italy (AP) — The ATP Finals will remain in Turin at least through 2026, the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation announced Thursday — although political issues could affect whether the tournament stays in Italy beyond then.
ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi announced in November that the contract for the year-ending tournament with the Italian federation was extended for another five years through 2030 — but without specifying whether the event would remain in Turin or move to Milan and a new arena being built for ice hockey at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics.
Now there will be at least two more editions of the tournament in Turin: in November this year and in 2026.
'At least until 2026, the ATP Finals will be contested in Turin,' Italian federation president Angelo Binaghi said.
But Binaghi also said that a new government decree which could diminish the federation's control over organizing the tournament threatens to force the ATP to go elsewhere.
'It's upsetting that this is happening during the greatest moment in the history of Italian tennis,' Binaghi said, referring to how Jannik Sinner on Sunday became the first Italian to win a singles title at Wimbledon. 'But we will do everything we can to keep the tournament here.'
The ATP Finals have been in Turin since 2021, following a 12-year run in London.
Sinner won the title last year.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte reveals he had around 400K worth of items stolen in All-Star break burglary
Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte has opened up about the burglary that took place at his home over the All-Star break. After Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals, Marte shared that over $400,000 worth of items were stolen from his home in Scottsdale last Tuesday, and that he found out about the robbery while at his hotel in Atlanta, where he played in the All-Star Game at Truist Field. 'Not good to know you lose around $400,000,' Marte said through a translator, 'but you just gotta move on.' 3 Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte said he lost over $400,000 of items in a home robbery on July 15. X @Jake_M_Garcia After the incident, the AP reported that various personal items and pieces of jewelry had been stolen, and that there had been signs of forced entry. No one was at Marte's home at the time of the incident, police said. The Diamondbacks placed Marte on the restricted list Friday, and the 31-year-old did not play in Arizona's three-game series against the Cardinals. 3 Ketel Marte with the Diamondbacks on June 29. Getty Images 'He's dealing with a personal issue, so he asked for some time off, time away, just to get grounded and get himself back to where he can come back here and play and be a force for us,' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday. 'So it's kind of a day-to-day situation.' Marte, a second baseman, said he will return to the lineup as a DH Monday night against the Astros.

'What happened was in the seventh inning, I came to bat. I'm ready at the plate and I hear this fan shouting. He was on top of the dugout,' Marte said afterward in an interview with 'Danny Beisbol,' as translated by subtitles. 'He yelled at me, saying stuff about my mom. He was like, 'I sent your mom a text last night.' When everything happened with my mom, I was here in Chicago. I was in this city.' On the field, Marte is enjoying an impressive season, boasting a .290 average and 164 OPS+ with 19 home runs and 40 RBIs.

Ryan Gerard wins the Barracuda Championship for his first PGA Tour title
Associated Press TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Gerard had two seven-point, birdie-eagle bursts and overcame five bogeys to win the Barracuda Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory. In breezy conditions at Tahoe Mountain Club in the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system, Gerard followed a two-point birdie with a five-point eagle on Nos. 2-3 and 10-11. The 25-year-old former North Carolina player had a 13-point round to finish with 47 points for a three-point victory over 2021 winner Erik van Rooyen of South Africa. Gerard fell short of van Rooyen's tournament record of 50 points. Fifth in the event two years ago, Gerard won in his 47th PGA Tour start to become the 999th winner in tour history. Played opposite the British Open, the tournament was co-sanctioned by the European tour. With the victory, Gerard received a spot in the PGA Championship next year but not the Masters. Van Rooyen had an eight-point day. He made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 15th and a 30-footer for birdie on the par-4 18th. Todd Clements of England was third with 39 points after a 16-point round. Beau Hossler scored 17 points Sunday to tie for fourth at 37 with Max McGreevy (16) and Jacques Kruyswijk (10). Tied for the third-round lead with Rico Hoey, Gerard made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 third and holed a 35-footer from the fringe on the par-5 11th. On the 11th, he hit his approach into the rough, but was allowed to take relief and move his ball to the fringe because of a sprinkler head. Gerard followed both seven-point runs with consecutive bogeys — with a point deducted for bogey — and missed a 3-footer on 16 for a three-putt bogey. The winner made a 5-foot birdie putt on 14 to get back the points he lost with the bogeys on the previous two holes. He also quickly canceled out the consecutive front-nine bogeys with a birdie on No. 7. Gerard played for the sixth straight week — a string that began with the U.S. Open and took him to Scotland last week. He was ninth and second in consecutive events in Texas in April. Hoey tied for eighth at 34 after a scoreless round. ___ AP golf: recommended Item 1 of 2

Texas Fury Texans and Jaguars Elite win titles at NFL Flag Championships
Associated Press CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The Texas Fury Texans and Jaguars Elite won titles in the NFL Flag Championships on Sunday. The Texans beat the Bad Rabbits Cowboys 19-0 to win the High School Girls division. The Jaguars beat Showtime 13-0 to take the 14U Boys championship. Emery Beckett completed all eight of her pass attempts in the title game for the Texans, throwing two touchdown passes to Zahra Hill and one to Kelsey Quinn. Their coach, Keenan Hughes, was recently hired as the first coach for the women's flag football team at Concordia University in Austin, Texas. The Jaguars were led by tournament MVP Brysen Wright, whose one-handed catch earlier in the event drew an incredulous social media response from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 14-year-old Wright scored 10 touchdowns in seven games. "It's a fast-paced, exciting and explosive game,' Jaguars coach David Price said. 'I think guys like Brysen are really going to help get more eyes on the sport.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
