	Grand Slam Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grand Slam Cup was a tennis tournament held annually in Munich, Germany, from 1990 to 1999.
		The Grand Slam Cup was not recognized by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), however, and thus participation in it did not count for any points in the world rankings and it was not considered an official career title.
		Although the rules did not assure Grand Slam champions an automatic berth in the event, winning a Grand Slam event was a de facto qualification for the Grand Slam Cup, given the considerable number of points attributed by the ITF to the champion of each event.

	Grand Slam Tennis
		The term "Grand Slam" was first used in 1933, by the American journalist John Kieran.
		The expression Grand Slam, initially used to describe the winning of the tennis major events, was later incorporated by other sports, notably golf, to describe a similar accomplishment.
		Though the term "Grand Slam" was originally restricted to the winning of all four tournaments in the same calendar year, the International Tennis Federation declared the official term as a player holding all four titles simultaneously, regardless of the calendar year.

		The four Slams are now history, along with seven of the Super Nines and seven Tier Ones among the women.
		Until late September, it seemed likely that significant clues would come from the Grand Slam Cup, held in Munich starting the last week of September, where ATP points are not awarded.
		Winning a Slam is worth substantially less in the computer's rankings than being runner-up in two Slams, for example, and barely equals winning two Super Nines.

	Tennis Masters Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tennis Masters Cup is a tennis tournament played annually at the end of each year, involving the top eight players in the men's tennis world rankings.
		The ITF, who continued to run the Grand Slam tournaments, created a rival year-end event known as the Grand Slam Cup, which was contested by the 16 players with the best records in Grand Slam competitions that year.
		If a player who wins one of the year's Grand Slam events finishes the year ranked outside the top eight but still within the top 20, they can be included in the Tennis Masters Cup instead of the eight-ranked player.

		The Davis Cup Committee recently came to a "long-term agreement of fixes and cures for Davis Cup," Bill Babcock, the executive director of Davis Cup and men's tennis for the International Tennis Federation, told USATODAY.com last Feb.16 from the ITF's offices in London.
		Starting with the 2001 season, the Davis Cup will have a relatively consistent schedule that he expects will be less taxing on players and their travel schedules and easier for fans to follow from year-to-year.
		Despite being at the end of the season, Babcock said the final will be easier on players with the subtraction of the star-studded Grand Slam Cup from the ATP Tour calendar this year.
