The first stage of the event was held in Los Angeles from October 21 to 23, but
there were uncertainties regarding the second date.
The

Russian compatriot Andrey Rublev, who recently won the Monte-Carlo Masters.
Australian star Nick Kyrgios will also be present, along with Frenchman Gael
Monfils,

Taylor Fritz, and Ben
Shelton. Two Asian athletes: Chinese
Wu Yibing and Kazakhstani Aleksander
Bublik, will also be part of the event.
The
following stages will be held in early December in an Asian/Middle Eastern
country, with the grand final taking place from December 8 to 10. The winner in
Frankfurt will qualify for the final stage.
