The ATP Finals stands as the ultimate event of the men’s tennis season- the grand finale that brings together the world’s elite. Often described as the “fifth major,” it is the most prestigious tournament on the ATP Tour calendar after the four Grand Slams.
Held annually since 1970, just two years after the dawn of the Open Era, the event crowns the best of the best- the players who have excelled throughout the year.
Unlike any other event on the ATP Tour, the ATP Finals uses a round-robin format before the knockout stages.
The top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams- determined by their season’s performance- are split into two groups of four.
Each participant plays three matches within their group. The top two from each group advance to the semifinals, with the winners progressing to the final.
This format ensures that even the world’s best face multiple elite opponents, offering fans a rare feast of high-stakes clashes from the tournament’s very first day.
