The ATP Finals is the ATP Tour’s season-ending championship. After the four majors, it is the most important tennis event on the men’s yearly calendar, as it features the top eight singles players and the top eight doubles teams based on their season results. The ATP Finals first took place in 1970. The initial name of the tournament was the Masters Grand Prix. The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) took over the men’s tour in 1990, replacing the Masters with the “ATP Tour World Championships”. Following that, the ITF founded a rival year-end cup, which was called the Grand Slam Cup. The ATP and ITF decided in December 1999 to merge the two competitions into a jointly owned event, which was called the “Tennis Masters Cup”.

The event was then dubbed the “ATP Finals” in 2017. Indoor hard courts have been the go to surface in recent years. But in some previous renditions, the indoor carpet was the surface on which players competed. Qualifiers for the ATP Finals? Players that occupy the top 7 spots in the ATP rankings are automatically qualified for the Finals. The eighth position is reserved for the player who wins a Grand Slam event during the season and is ranked between eighth and twentieth. If more than one player wins a Grand Slam during the season and is ranked between 8th and 20th, the player ranked higher is awarded the eighth position. The player who follows is designated first alternate. If no player wins a Grand Slam tournament during the season and is ranked from 8th to 20th, the eighth position is awarded to the player ranked eighth, regardless of Slam results.
