The independent tennis league has been running since 2020 with a slew of refreshed rules from the traditional format, including a 15-second shot clock, and "cards" able to unlock special abilities such as removing the opponent's second serve.

Several top players are involved in the competition including Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Alex de Minaur.

British No. 1 Jack Draper was due to make a comeback from injury to feature in the rapid-fire tournament, but has withdrawn after being advised to take more time out ahead of his return to action in 2026.
