The starting signal is an event on November 19 in the Chilean capital Santiago de Chile. Just two days after the final at the ATP Finals in London, Federer and Zverev will open their joint exhibition tour in front of 11,200 spectators.
Afterwards, the Germans and the Swiss continue to Bogota (Colombia), where they will open in the Movistar Arena on November 22nd. Just a day later, Federer and Zverev will play in Mexico City in the world's largest bullfighting arena - in front of 41,000 fans!
On November 24, the two clients of "Team 8" will conclude their tour in Quito, Ecuador. Federer will also fight an exhibition fight against local hero Juan Martin del Potro on November 20 in the 15,000-seat Estadio Parque Roca in Buenos Aires .
Parallel to the show fights, the first Davis Cup final week will take place in Madrid. However, this is not a problem for either Federer or Zverev: Switzerland missed out on being among the 18 best teams in the world; Zverev had categorically ruled out from the start due to the unsuitable date and the changed format.
