Non-notable exhibition tournament. It's not an official ATP event, just a warm up event with a few notable individuals. WP:NOTINHERITED certainly applies here Joseph2302 (talk) 11:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Keep I'm the article's creator, but I'd like to point out the event has received media coverage and has been televised around the world.[1][2][3][4][5][6]Zellfire999 (talk) 12:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Keep - The event has received significant media coverage from third party sources. Further media coverage by reliable third party sources as follows [1][2][3][4][5][6]Tracland (talk) 06:37, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Think argument for closure is weak. ATP tour is not happening due to COVID, this and Avia tour are its replacements until it resumes. Secondly notable as some of the first events back during the pandemic which allowed crowds in. All refs are independent. Deleting this page is like deleting history that has happened. The only other option is to merge these events into one article called Pandemic Tennis Competitions.User:Davidstewartharvey
Keep The ATP does not have a monopoly on men's tennis, and it certainly does not have a monopoly on notable tennis events. This event has received significant coverage in reliable sources and is certainly notable.—J. M. (talk) 15:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
