The official part of the program began with a presentation by the aide to the President of the Russian Federation Igor Levitin, who underlined noted the paramount importance of the «VTB Kremlin Cup» for the development and promotion of sports in Russia, and at the end of his speech he read out an address from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin with congratulations and wishes for the future prosperity of the tournament. The next speaker was deputy chairman of the Russian government Olga Golodets who extended a warm welcome to the guests and congratulated all the invitees on the tournament round anniversary. At the end of her speech, Olga read out a congratulatory letter from prime-minister Dmitry Medvedev. The head of the Sports Department of Moscow Alexey Kondarantsev, also made a short welcoming speech.

After a short musical interlude the widow of the first Russian President and Russias’tennis fan №1 - Naina Yeltsin stepped on stage, warmly greeted the guests and spoke about the achievements of one of the grant holders of the «Yeltsin Fund», present in the hall - Daniil Medvedev. Naina also shared her memories on her late husband’s special attitude to tennis and thanked the founder of the tournament, special guest of the gala-evening, Swiss businessman Sasson Kakshuri.

The official part ended with a speech of the President of the Russian Tennis Federation, Chairman of the «VTB Kremlin Cup» Board of Directors Shamil Tarpishchev. The head of Russian tennis expressed his deep gratitude to everyone who has been organizing the tournament for so many years, as well as to those who supported him even when the going was tough. He also praised the contribution to the formation and further development of the tournament of its first director Eugene Scott , the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR , the first Chairman of the tournament organizing committee Ivan Silaev. Shamil Tarpischev expressed his special gratitude to the Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin for making possible the existence of the tournament" outside the «Olimpiyskiy» sports complex. To conclude his speech the captain of Russian men's team used his catch-phrase , which has already become the motto of Russian tennis - «We are doomed to success!».

Performances of officials and invited persons successfully alternated with solos of famous Russian performers. Lead singer of «Moral Codex» group Sergey Mazayev set the right evening mood by singing his megahit «Night whim», then listeners mentally raced «On the Waves" together with Burito, a pleasant surprise for all tennis fans was prepared by popular singer Oleg Gazmanov (a song with a telling name «Final set»), and Larisa Dolina performed the song «The Wall", obviously inspired by the unassailable defense of the Russian men's tennis leader Daniil Medvedev. The guests of the soiree also enjoyed the dances and musical performances of well-known groups, including the famous «Todes».

The gala-dinner was also attended by active ATP and WTA players, who this week will play their matches on the courts of the «VTB Kremlin Cup» 2019: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, Natalia Vikhlyantseva, Veronika Kudermetova, Anastasija Sevastova, Maria Sakkari, Dayana Yastremska, Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov and the previously mentioned newly-crowned champion of the tournament in Shanghai Daniil Medvedev. Among the guests, of course, were prominent Russian players of the previous years: Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Marat Safin, Igor Andreev and Nikolay Davydenko and Anastasia Myskina – the latter read out «the letter to the future», addressed to the «VTB Kremlin Cup» players of 2039.
