Expansion of the Rome tournament complex (Internazionali BNL d’Italia) in Rome was publicly announced for the 2025 edition, with plans to grow the Foro Italico site from 12 to 20 hectares and add several new courts, including a central 3,000-seat stadium later named the SuperTennis Arena. This project aimed to create a larger, more modern venue for both competition and training, and to showcase tennis alongside other activities at the site.[1][2][3]

The new venues reportedly include a 3,000-seat center court (the SuperTennis Arena) plus additional arenas, with nine match courts and twelve training courts planned as part of the expanded complex. The updates were tied to the 2025 Rome Masters 1000 edition and were slated to be unveiled during the tournament window in early to mid-May 2025.[2][3][1]

Coverage from ATP Tour and affiliated outlets highlighted that Rome’s investment extended beyond infrastructure to a broader commitment from the Italian Tennis Federation, positioning the event as a flagship for Italian tennis and showcasing a renovated Foro Italico. Notably, the expanded venue included new courts inside the Stadio dei Marmi and other showcase courts, aligning with Rome’s aim to boost both competitive appeal and fan experience.[3]

For context on related discussions and plans over the years, some media discussions have mentioned earlier plans for covered or roofed center-court designs and other architectural upgrades, though the status and timing of those features have varied with funding and project milestones. These discussions reflect ongoing interest in enhancing competitive reliability and spectator experience at the event.[4][5]
