The tournament was held from 28 September to 4 October 1998. The prize money was significant, and therefore the most popular exhibition tournament among the players but there were no ranking points awarded since the ITF had no influence on ATP and WTA who control the ranking system. However the Grand Slam Cup-tournaments would later be recognized by the ATP as official tournaments and a tournament win would be included in the players statistics.[citation needed]
