History
Since this is not an ATP-sanctioned event, players do not earn any ranking points and the match results do not count towards official head-to-head tallies. Each of the six participants is guaranteed a participation fee with the winner receiving a larger payout.[1]
The event is held in an 8,000 seat stadium purpose-built for the tournament originally named the Venue, later named anb arena [sic].[2][3]
Jannik Sinner won the inaugural tournament by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final[4] and claimed the biggest prize check in tennis history, surpassing Novak Djokovic's prize of $4,740,300 at the 2022 ATP Finals. Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal for the third-place trophy.[4][5]
