Based on this Nitto has been sponsoring the event since 2017, with our vision of "supporting those who take on challenges."

From 2021-2025 the Nitto ATP Finals will be held in Turin, in collaboration with the ATP, FIT and City of Turin. In addition, by becoming a year-round Gold Partner and Official Athletic Tape Sponsor of the ATP Tour from 2021, Nitto will provide its athletic taping products to the ATP Medical Team to support many tennis players throughout the season.

We also look forward to working closely with Nitto as our year-round Tour partner, as they assist in protecting players’ health by providing top quality athletic taping related products for use at events across the season.”
