After the majors, one of the highlights of the tennis season is the ATP World Tour Finals.

With every entrant being one of the top players over the last season, every game plays like the end games in the major tournaments.Any player can win any game and they are all trying their best to get one over their rivals and show they are the best tennis player in the world.

The Tournament

Throughout the year, tennis players get points for their performance in each tournament they enter. The ATP uses these points to produce a rankings list of the best players over the previous year. The tennis players in the top eight positions at the end of the world qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals.

Played over a week in November, the top eight players battle it out in two groups playing a round-robin format. The two best players in each group then play off through the semi-finals and final to find the champion.Last year, Roger Federer won the men’s tournament and the pairing of Daniel Nestor and Max Mirnyi won the doubles tournament.

Doubles

As well as the top individual players, the tournament also features the top men’s doubles pairing battling it out in their own tournament. This tournament works on the same round-robin basis, and the winners can claim to be the top doubles players in the world.
