London to host season finale
03 January 2007
Eight of the world's top players will compete for £2.25million in prize money in the 20,000-seat arena, formerly the Millennium Dome.
"The world's best tennis players coming together in the unique and iconic setting of London's O2 Arena to decide who will be crowned ATP World Tour Final champion is simply an irresistible and potent mix," said Etienne de Villiers, executive chairman of the ATP.
"London is the world's most cosmopolitan city, with a vibrancy and energy that makes it ideally suited to hosting this event.
"The ATP visit over 30 countries, so having our end-of-season finale in such a diverse city could not be more appropriate.
"With our joint promoters AEG's expertise and the All England Club's experience of running the Wimbledon Championships, I believe we have the perfect team in place to deliver a stunning event."
