The ATP Finals are one of the most prestigious tournaments in tennis. It is generally played in November to close the season and only the best eight players of the year, in singles and in doubles, can participate. Many people considered it as the “fifth Grand Slam” due to its importance.
Roger Federer is the player with the most individual titles with six titles but Novak Djokovic has the chance to chase him this year. The defending champion is Daniil Medvedev, who took the title last year after defeating Dominic Thiem.
The tournament concedes up to 1,500 ranking points to the winners. The participating players win 200 points for each round robin match win, 400 for a semi-final win, and 500 for winning the final. But, of course, they also take home a significant amount of money.
