About

The ATP Finals is the prestigious season-ending championship in men's tennis, showcasing the top eight singles players in a round-robin format. Held annually, this event gathers the highest-ranked players based on their performance throughout the year, determined by the ATP rankings. The tournament is divided into two groups of four players each, with each player competing against the others in their group. This format allows for a comprehensive assessment of each player's skills as they face a variety of opponents. The ATP Finals feature singles matches played as the best of three tie-break sets, including the final. The winners of each group advance to the semifinals, where the top player from one group faces the runner-up from the other. The winners of these semifinals then compete in the final match to determine the champion. The event is typically held on indoor hard courts and serves as a culmination of the ATP Tour season, offering a thrilling conclusion to the year's tennis competitions.
