What will be the Generali Pro Series Format?
The men’s singles format for this Generali Pro exhibition competition is an interesting one and allows the lower-ranked players to feature in a few matches too. The 16 men’s players will be divided into four groups of four apiece, and each player will play three matches in this round-robin format.
At the end of this first round of group-stage matches, the top three players will move into the second round where the 12 players will be divided into four groups of three players each. After each player has played a further two matches apiece, the top two players will then qualify for the final eight which will again see the players get divided into two groups of four each.
The top two from each group will then qualify for the semifinals, which will be followed by the final.
The women’s draw will begin from the same stage as the men’s final eight; i.e. the eight women will be divided into two groups of four each and the top two from each will then make the semifinals. This will be followed by the final.
