What is the format?
The Nitto ATP Finals is structured as a round-robin format, with eight singles players/doubles teams divided into two groups of four.
All singles matches are the best of three tie-break sets. All doubles matches are best of three sets, with the first two sets played as tie-break sets with no ads and the final set played as a match tie-break.
