Tournament players were a diverse array of artists, architects, writers, musicians, actors, directors, curators, and other cultural figures—all of whom nourished a serious passion for tennis and a fierce desire to win the MAK Cup. Pre-tournament games were held in September and October; semi-finals and finals took place on October 12.
