Every player
eligible to play in a Tennis Masters Series event is automatically entered
into the draw. Entry is determined by a player's position on the ATP Entry
System exactly 42 days before the tournament starts. Additionally, players
will enter the main draw through the qualifying competition. Others will
gain direct entry through wild cards awarded at the tournament's discretion.
The number of qualifying positions and wild cards depend on the draw size
of the tournament (see below). If eligible to play in one of Tennis Masters
Series events, a player must count the points from these tournaments,
even if it is a zero because he missed the event. (The same is true for
Grand Slam events.) Just as in Formula One and numerous other sports,
if a competitor misses a race or an event, he loses his chance to earn
points.
