The AEGON Masters Tennis
30 November – 5 December 2010

This end-of-year tournament is the season finale to the ATP Champions Tour, a year-long Tour that makes its way across Europe and the world and pits past tennis champions against each other in order to earn ranking points.

In order to play in a ATP Champions Tour event, the player must no longer be active on the ATP Tour and have either been:

• Ranked Number 1 in the World
• A Singles Finalist in a Grand Slam Championship
• A Singles Player on a winning Davis Cup Team

The AEGON Masters Tennis is now firmly established as the UK’s most popular indoor tournament – drawing crowds of more than 35,000 over the course of the event.

Format

Eight players will be split into two groups of four and will compete in a round-robin tournament from Tuesday through to Saturday. The winner from each group will go through to the final on the Sunday afternoon session.
