The BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, the cinch Championships at the Queen’s Club in London, and the Nordea Open in Bastad won the Tournament of the Year Award in their respective categories. 

Indian Wells has been named the ATP Masters 1000 Tournament of the Year. The Californian tournament offers modern facilities, plenty of practice courts that allow fans to watch players closely. 

World number 2 Carlos Alcaraz won the third Masters 1000 title of his career in Indian Wells last March after beating Danil Medvedev in the final. Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden claimed the doubles title. 

“We are honoured to see the ATP players vote again Indian Wells as their favourite 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”, said BNP Paribas Open Tournament Director and former tennis player Tommy Haas. 

The Queen’s tournament has been recognized as the best ATP 500 tournament for the fifth time after being voted as the best event in this category in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2022. Alcaraz won the Queen’s title a few weeks beating Alex De Minaur in the final before his first triumph over Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek claimed the doubles title after a win in the final against Taylor Fritz and Jiri Lehecka. 

“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”, said Chris Pollard, the tournament’s Digital, Technology and Events Director. 

The Nordea Open in Bastad was voted as the best ATP 250 Tournament of the Year on its 75th anniversary. Andrey Rublev won the Bastad title last July beating Casper Ruud in the final. The doubles title went to Gonzalo Escobar and Aleksandr Nedovyesov, who beat Francisco Cabral and Rafael Matos. 

“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 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.
