ATP finalizes sale of L.A. tournament to Bogota

The ATP Board of Directors has approved the sale of the Los Angeles tournament to a group in Bogota, Colombia. The new tournament will be staged at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento, the same locale that hosted an ATP event from 1997-2002.

The Bogota tournament will take place on outdoor hard courts from July 15-21, 2013. Consequently, the tournament in Atlanta will take place a week later, July 22-28.

It is unclear whether the Bogota tournament will remain in that same week in 2014, as organizers have expressed a desire to be part of the Latin American swing, which takes place in Febraury. However, there have been discussions within the ATP of moving the entire Latin American swing to the fall.
