Two spectators at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, died from cardiac arrest during the second day of the tournament, officials said.

"The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP) and the ATP express their deepest condolences following the tragic passing of two spectators yesterday during the ATP Finals in Turin," a joint statement from the two organizations said.

"On-site medical and emergency personnel responded immediately, providing all possible assistance. Despite prompt intervention and subsequent transfer to hospital, unfortunately, both sadly passed away."

Officials stated that incidents involving the two individuals, aged 70 and 78, occurred at different times during the matches on Monday.

The singles match between Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz was delayed when the 78-year-old man collapsed in the stands, with announcements made at the Inalpi Arena to alert fans to the medical emergency. The 70-year-old man collapsed in the Fan Village in Piazza d'Armi near the arena.

The ATP Finals have been held in Turin since 2021, and will continue in the city for next year's season-ending tournament. The ATP Finals will remain in Italy until 2030.
