Masters/ATP Tour World Championship
The year-end championship of the ATP men's tour since 1970. Contested by
the year's top eight players. Originally a round-robin, the Masters was
revised in 1972 to include a round-robin to decide the four semifinalists
then a single elimination format after that. The tournament switched from
December to January in 1977-78, then back to December in 1986. Held at
Madison Square Garden in New York from 1978-89. Replaced by ATP Tour World
Championship in 1990 and held in Frankfurt, Germany since then.
Multiple Winners: Ivan Lendl (5); Ilie Nastase and Pete Sampras
(4); Boris Becker and John McEnroe (3); Bjorn Borg (2).
