Tempe, AZ – In part of the newly announced partnership with Dunlop as the official ball, racket, and accessory of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and college tennis, Dunlop has committed to providing a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Italy for one collegiate coach and a guest of their choosing.
Taking place from November 10-17, Dunlop will be providing the lucky coach and their guest a four (4) day and three (3) night trip that will include tennis tickets for two (2) days of the coach’s choosing (subject to availability), airfare, ground transportation (to be reimbursed after the trip), one hotel room at a four-star equivalent hotel, and a $500 USD meal allowance.
As the year-end climax to the ATP Tour season, the Nitto ATP Finals welcomes the eight best singles players and doubles teams from the current tour season to determine who is the best of the best on the men’s tour. In 2023, players such as Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannick Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev all competed with Djokovic being crowned the singles champion at the end of the competition.
Dunlop has been the official tennis ball partner of the ATP Tour and the Nitto ATP Finals since 2019, making Dunlop the #1 ball on tour supplying balls to more ATP Tour tournaments than any other brand.
To be eligible for a chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime trip, coaches must complete a handful of simple steps that have been communicated to them via email. Once completed, all eligible coaches will be included in a drawing where the winner will be selected. The one lucky winner will be notified on Wednesday, August 28th, with public communications to follow shortly after on the ITA website and social media channels.
If you are a coach and have any further questions, we ask that you please check your email or reach out to the ITA Director of Coach Education, Lauren Conching ([email protected]) who can provide you with more information.
