·Background Knowledge
Why the Ausopen champion can be the most possible player to Masters Cup first?
The ATP Champions Rae begins on January 1, with all players starting the year with zero points. Points are calculated from a player’s performance in the four Grand Slams, the nine Tennis Masters Series tournaments and their best five other ATP events. The Top 7 players in the ATP Champions Race on the Monday after the last ATP tournament will qualify. The eighth position will go to either a current Grand Slam winner who isn’t in the TOP 8 but within the top 20, or the eighth player in the ATP Champions Race.
Australian Open is the first of the four Grand Slams, from which the Champion can get as high as 200 points, (Compared with which, Tennis Masters Series can only get 100 points, while utmost 35 points for ATP series). As the saying goes: a good beginning is half of the success, the Australian Open Champions qualify for the Tennis Masters Cup every year in the past five years.
