The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is a tennis tournament played at the end of each year, involving the top eight players in the men’s tennis world rankings.
Unlike most of the other events on the men’s tour, the ATP World Tour Finals is not a straightforward knock-out tournament. The eight players are divided into two groups of four, and play three round-robin matches each against the other three players in their group. From there, the two players with the best records in each group progress to the semifinals, with the winners meeting in the final to determine the champion. Winners are awarded up to 1500 rankings points.
The event is actually the third evolution of a championship which began in 1970. It was originally known simply as The Masters Grand Prix tournament, and was organised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). The Masters was a year-end showpiece event between the best players on the men’s tour, but did not count for any world ranking points. In 1990, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) took over the running of the men’s tour and replaced the Masters with the ATP Tour World Championship. World ranking points were now at stake, with an undefeated champion earning the same number of points they would for winning one of the four Grand Slam events. The ITF, who continued to run the Grand Slam tournaments, created a rival year-end event known as the Grand Slam Cup, which was contested by the 16 players with the best records in Grand Slam competitions that year. In December 1999, the ATP and ITF agreed to discontinue the two separate events and create a new jointly-owned event called the Tennis Masters Cup.
In 2009 the Masters have been renamed the ATP World Tour Finals and it will be staged at The O2 in London from 2009 to 2012.
In year 2010 the fun and entertainment begins again. These matches starts in November in UK O2 Arena.
