Prize money

Each of the six players is guaranteed a minimum prize of $1,500,000, with the winner taking home the largest prize in the history of the sport, $6,000,000. It’s almost double the prize money for a Grand Slam champion.

Why is there no game on October 18th?

According to an ATP rule, players are not allowed to play three days in a row at an exhibition event. Therefore, October 18th was retained as a “day of rest”.

Will there be ranking points?

As this is not an ATP-sanctioned event, players will not be offered ranking points.
