American Fritz to headline $1 million MGM Slam in Las Vegas

American star Taylor Fritz will headline the $1 million MGM Slam in Las Vegas next March. The exhibition event will use a fast 10-point tiebreak format and will feature eight top players, including Tommy Paul, Casper Ruud, Nick Kyrgios, Joao Fonseca, Gael Monfils, Lorenzo Musetti, and Alexander Bublik.

Now in its third year, the MGM Slam has hosted major names in recent seasons, such as Aryna Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, and Rafael Nadal. The event comes as tennis faces criticism over its packed schedule, with the PTPA filing a lawsuit against major governing bodies. Still, exhibitions continue worldwide, including a January showdown between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz just days before the Australian Open.
