ATP Finals History
ATP Finals is the fifth iteration of the championship tournament, first played in 1970 in Tokyo, Japan.

The first men’s championship title was won by Stan Smith, who defeated legend Rod Laver in the final.
In 1990, ATP took over the right to host the championship tournament and changed its name from Masters Grand Prix to ATP Tour World Championship. The most successful players in the ATP Finals in the singles category are Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Both have won the tournament a record six times.
