		Two terms are common in Professional Tennis and the sport in general: Rankings are determined by points a player collects for each of their place finishes at the tournaments entered - only the best ‘so many’ finishes are used and they must be within a certain time frame, eg.
		Tennis is played on a tennis court that is 36 feet wide and 78 feet long, usually green, in a rectangular arena 120 feet long and 60 feet wide, often surrounded by seating.
		The tennis ball may touch the net, on a 2nd service, but, still must land inside the service box or the point is awarded to the opponent; then the players move on to play the next point. First serve always has a second serve to back it up.

		A compromise between the ITF and the ATP was announced on December 9 1999, by which the Grand Slam Cup was merged with the ATP World Championship (the ATP's year-end tournament), which was also held annually in Germany, giving birth to the Tennis Masters Cup, which would be an official tour event.
		In the eyes of most tennis fans, this was the end of the Grand Slam Cup because the Tennis Masters Cup is generally viewed as a continuation of the ATP World Championship, not the Grand Slam Cup.
		This situation occurred at the 2004 Tennis Masters Cup (in Houston, USA), where the 8th ranked player in the ATP Champions Race, Andre Agassi, was excluded from the event in favor of GastÃ³n Gaudio, who had won that year's French Open but was ranked 10th at the end of the year.
