Over the last decade, Spain’s Ferrer has been one of the most consistent players on the Tour. He reached the final of Roland Garros in 2013 and has made multiple semifinals appearances at the Australian Open and the US Open. He has been a quarterfinalist at Wimbledon twice and has won the Davis Cup for Spain three times. He first achieved a Top 10 ranking in 2006 and reached a career-high ranking of World No.3 in July 2013

Marin Cilic had a stellar year in 2014, claiming his maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open, winning in straight sets against fellow Tennis Classic at Hurlingham star Kei Nishikori, consequently reaching a career high ranking of World No.8 and qualifying for his first ATP World Tour Finals. Cilic was the first Croat to win a major title since compatriot and coach Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001. He holds 14 ATP Tour singles titles.

The tournament has also announced the match schedule for the four-day event:
