Prize money
Each of the six players is guaranteed a minimum prize of $1,500,000 USD, with the winner taking home the largest prize in sport’s history, $6,000,000 USD. It is almost double the prize money for a Grand Slam champion.
Why there is no match on October 18?
According to an ATP rule, the players cannot play for three straight days in an exhibition event. So, October 18 has been kept as a ‘rest day.’
Will there be any ranking points?
Since it is not an ATP-sanctioned event, there will be no ranking points on offer for the players.
Live streaming info
The tournament will be broadcast for free on DAZN.
