The ATP World Tour Championship The top eight (8) players whose "best 14" results from all tournaments in that calendar year up to and including the week immediately prior to the ATP World Tour Championship qualify for this event in Frankfurt, Germany. (In other words, points received from this tournament in the previous year are NOT included in the calculation for eligibility.) The ninth, tenth ... players are alternates. The eight players are divided into two groups of four. #1 and #2 are separated into different groups; so are #3 and #4, #5 and #6 as well as #7 and #8. That is the way the "draw" is done in this tournament. Within each group, the four players face one another exactly once in round robin matches. The top two finishers from each group (determined by the number of matches won, and if there is a tie, the number of sets won/lost will be used to break the tie) advance to the semi-final, where the top finisher from one group plays the second from the other. The winners advance to the final, which is best-of-five sets. All other matches are best-of- three sets. Players will receive the following ranking points from the ATP World Tour Championship: each round robin match won: 65 points winning a semi-final match: 130 points winning the final: 185 points No bonus points are given for beating ranked players in this tournament. For example, if a player wins all three round robin matches and of course the semi and final on the way to the title, he will receive: 65 * 3 + 130 + 185 = 510 points --------------------------------------- The Grand Slam Cup The year-end Grand Slam Cup in Munich, Germany is a tournament created by the ITF (International Tennis Federation) and is NOT part of the ATP Tour. Therefore, it is technically an exhibition because its results do NOT count towards the ATP rankings or head-to-head records. Eligibility for the Grand Slam Cup is determined by a player's results from the four Grand Slam events in that calendar year. The players are awarded a certain number of points depending on how far they advance in each event. The top 16 with the highest number of total points qualify. Seedings for this event is determined by the GS points, NOT the usual rankings. The first two rounds of the Grand Slam Cup are best of three sets. The semi and final are best of five sets. Grand Slam Cup points from GS events: winner: 600 finalist: 450 semi finalist: 300 quarter finalist: 150 round of 16: 75 third round: 40 second round: 20 first round: 2 Here are the current Grand Slam Cup point standings for 1994: Australian French Wimbledon US Open Total --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

Christopher Smith The tournaments on the ATP tour are designated into two main tiers (excluding Challenger events), called Championship Series and World Series. Championship series events offer more prize money and attract bigger-name players. Starting in 1993, the ATP has given special status to 9 of their Championship Series tournaments. These tournaments are unofficially known as the Super 9. An ATP Top Ten player is supposed to play in at least 8 of these 9 special events, and each event must field at least eight of the Top Ten men (singles). The idea is to get the top players to play each other more often and add prestige to selected ATP events.

Note2: Various media reports indicated that the ATP Tour stop in Bordeaux, FRA, was a hard court event in 1993. However, since this tournament has historically been a red clay event, and the 1994 ATP Tour schedule lists Bordeaux as red clay, that is how I have chosen to list it.

The Federation Cup is the women's version of the Davis Cup. Currently, the format of the Federation Cup is that, unlike Davis Cup, the entire event is held over a one week period in one city. This will change in 1995, when a format very similar to the present Davis Cup format will be adopted. In 1994, Frankfurt, Germany, is the host city. In a Federation Cup tie, three matches (two singles matches followed by a doubles match) are played. The team winning the most matches advances to the next round. There will be 16 seeded teams in 1994 competition (as opposed to 8 last year). The 8 quarterfinalists from the 1994 competition will advance to next year's "World Group." The 2nd round losers will advance to a mid range group, while others will be relegated to the lowest-level zone competitions. In 1995, the format of a Federation Cup "tie" will change. There will be five matches per tie played (like in Davis Cup): two singles matches, the doubles match, and then two reverse singles matches. The first two singles matches will be played on one day, and the remaining three matches played on the second day. The schedule for the 1995 Federation Cup matches is to be determined. In 1993, the Federation Cup was held during the week of July 19-25, in Frankfurt. The draw and team results follow: Spain Spain (1) vs. Britain --------+ Spain Ind'a |--------+ Poland vs. Indonesia --------+ 3-0 | Spain Latvia |--------+ Latvia vs. Belgium --------+ Holland| 3-0 | Holland|--------+ | Holland (7) vs. Croatia --------+ 3-0 | Spain Czech. |--------+ Czech.(3) vs. South Africa --------+ Czech. | 2-1 | Italy |--------+ | | Italy vs. Israel --------+ 2-1 | France | | Sweden |--------+ | Sweden vs. Uruguay --------+ France | 3-0 | France |--------+ | France (6) vs. Canada --------+ 3-0 | Spain USA +-------+ USA (5) vs. Switzerland --------+ USA | 3-0 China |--------+ | China vs. Peru --------+ 2-1 | Argentina | Arg. |--------+ | New Zealand vs. Argentina --------+ Arg. | 2-1 | | Bulg. |--------+ | | Bulgaria (4) vs. South Korea --------+ 2-1 | Australia Japan |--------+ Japan (8) vs. Colombia --------+ Finland | 2-1 Finland|--------+ | Chile vs. Finland --------+ 2-1 | Australia Denmark |--------+ Austria vs. Denmark --------+ Austr. | 3-0 Austr. |--------+ Germany (2) vs. Australia --------+ 3-0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -- Christopher Smith . . . . .
