9.03 South African Airways ATP Rankings (Singles)
A. The South African Airways ATP Rankings (singles) is based on calculating, for each
player, his total points from the four (4) Grand Slams, the eight (8) mandatory ATP
World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments and the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals of the
ranking period, and his best four (4) results from all ATP World Tour 500 tournaments
played in the calendar year, one (1) of which must follow the US Open and the best
two (2) results from all ATP World Tour 250, ATP Challenger Tour and Futures tournaments.
For every Grand Slam or mandatory ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament
for which a player is not in the main draw, and was not (and, in the case of a Grand
Slam, would not have been, had he and all other players entered) a main draw direct
acceptance on the original acceptance list, and never became a main draw direct
acceptance, the number of his results from all other eligible tournaments in the ranking
period, that count for his ranking, is increased by one (1). In weeks where there are
not four (4) Grand Slams and eight (8) ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in
the ranking period, the number of a player’s best results from all eligible tournaments
in the ranking period will be adjusted accordingly. Once a player is accepted in the
main draw of one of these twelve (12) tournaments, as a direct acceptance, a qualifier,
a special exempt or a lucky loser, or having accepted a wild card, his result in this
tournament shall count for his ranking, whether or not he participates. Players outside
the Top 30 in the previous year-end ranking do not have the ATP World Tour 500
requirement to play in four (4) events; however, they cannot use more than four (4)
results from the 500 level events in their ranking.
A player's withdrawal from an ATP World Tour 500 event whether on time or of after
the 12 noon deadline, shall result in a zero (0) point included as one of his best of four
(4) results. Further non-consecutive withdrawals shall result in a zero (0) point allocation
replacing the next best positive result for each additional withdrawal. Players with
multiple consecutive withdrawals who are out of competition for 30 days or longer due
to injury will not be subject to a ranking penalty as long as verified and approved medical
forms are provided; or, a player shall not have the ranking penalty imposed if he
completes the Promotional Activities requirement as specified under "Repeal of
Withdrawal Fines and/or Penalties" or if the on-site withdrawal procedures apply.
B. Loser points for the rounds achieved are awarded to players in any tournament not
completed.
C. Ties. When two or more players have the same total number of points, ties shall be
broken as follows:
1) the most total points from the Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 mandatory
tournaments and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals main draws, and if still tied,
then,
2) the fewest events played, counting all missed Grand Slams, ATP World Tour
Masters 1000 tournaments and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals they could have
played (as described under A. above) as if played, and if still tied, then,
3) the highest number of points from one single tournament, then, if needed, the second
highest, and so on.
D. Entry Protection
1) A player may petition the President, or his designee, for an entry protection when
he is physically injured and does not compete in any tennis event for a minimum
period of six (6) months. The written petition must be received within six (6) months
after his last tournament.
2) The entry protection shall be a position in the South African Airways ATP Rankings
(singles), as determined by the player's average South African Airways ATP
Rankings (singles) position during the first three (3) months of his injury. The entry
protection shall be for entry into the main draw or qualifying competition or for special
exempt consideration. The entry protection shall not be used for seeding purposes
or lucky loser consideration.
3) The entry protection shall be in effect for either the first eight (8) tournaments that
the player competes in using the entry protection (excluding wild cards and entries
as a direct acceptance with his current position in the ATP Ranking) or for the period
up to nine (9) months beginning with the first tennis event that the player competes
in, whichever occurs first.
Note: For purposes of this rule, three (3) months is calculated at thirteen (13)
weeks; six (6) months is calculated at twenty-six (26) weeks; and nine (9) months
is calculated at thirty-nine (39) weeks.
E. Points.
1) Points shall be allocated based on tournament category (Grand Slam, Barclays
ATP World Tour Finals, ATP World Tour Masters 1000, ATP World Tour 500, ATP
World Tour 250, Davis Cup, ARAG World Team Championship, ATP Challenger
Tour and Futures Series).
2) Points are assigned to the losers of the round indicated. Any player who reaches
the second round by drawing a bye and then loses shall be considered to have lost
in the first round and shall receive first round loser's points. Wild cards at Grand
Slams and ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events receive points only from the 2nd
round. No points are awarded for a first round loss at ATP World Tour 500 & 250
events, ATP Challenger Tour or Futures Series events.
3) Players qualifying for the main draw through the qualifying competition shall
receive qualifying points in addition to any points earned, as per the following
table, with the exception of Futures.

B.Special Ranking Rules for Davis Cup
1) If a player does not compete in the singles of one or more rounds he will receive
points from the previous round when playing singles at the next tie.
2) If a player does not compete in singles in either the 1st round or Quarter-final round
and then plays singles in the Semi-final and Final rounds, he will receive Quarterfinal
points for his Semi-final match, but will then be eligible for Finals points when
playing the final.
3) If a player is a late substitution to the team and was released from another tournament
that same week, he will not be eligible to earn points for that Davis Cup
tie. A player only has the opportunity to earn points in one event per week.
4) If a particular Davis Cup round shows up twice within the 52-week window, the
best one of those two results will count towards the player’s Davis Cup result. (This
will come into play when a tie is played earlier in the year compared to the previous
year and both ties fall within the 52-week window.)

Tour Finals (Doubles) played in the Ranking period. For entry purposes there are no
mandatory events, however, once a player is accepted in the main draw of one of
these twelve (12) tournaments, as a direct acceptance,a qualifier or a lucky loser or
having accepted a wild card, his result in this tournament shall count for his ranking,
whether or not he participates.
