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 minimum prize of US$1,500,000, with the winner taking home the largest prize in tennis history, US$6,000,000—almost double the prize money for a Grand Slam champion (US$3.8M).
The event is held in an 8,000 seat stadium purpose-built for the tournament named the Venue.
Jannik Sinner won the inaugural tournament by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final 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.
