The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is a tennis event which takes place at the end of each year involving the top eight ranked tennis players in men’s tennis.

The tournament is not similar to other tournaments which feature straightforward knockout ties. Instead, the ATP World Tour Finals feature 8 players which are divided into two groups consisting of four players each. Each player then plays three round-robin matches against three other players in their respective groups. After this, the top 2 players in each group advances to semi-finals, with the winners meeting in the final to determine the champion.

The tournament will be played for the second time in 2010 at The O2 Arena in London. After the champion is determined, the points are added to each player and the ATP World Tour Champion is crowned. The tournament first took place in Tokyo in 1970 and was known as The Masters Grand Prix. In 2009, the tournament was renamed as The World Tour Finals and is scheduled to be held at the O2 Arena till 2012.
