In order to deal with the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, ATP temporarily changed the ranking calculation method.
China News Service, July 7th, according to ATP website news, in order to deal with the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, ATP officials have made major adjustments to the ranking and points system.
ATP announced that it had already announced that it expected to resume the game in August. Once the tour resumes, each athlete's points will be calculated for the best 18 points in 52 weeks. The scoring cycle starts from March 2019 and ends on December 31, 2020. During this time, the total scores of the 18 competitions with the best athlete performance will be selected to form the athletes' new ATP ranking points.
The new rules state that players cannot be counted in the same tournament, and multiple entries cannot be counted in the "Best 18" points record. That is to say, if an athlete participates in the same race twice within this scoring cycle, he can only choose the one with better performance to be counted in the points system.
At the same time, if the athlete's points are obtained in 2020, the retention period of the points is still 52 weeks. When the event is held in 2021, the athlete's points will be deducted.

According to the new point ranking scheme, the defending champions of the French Open and the US Open, Nadal, already hold 4,000 points for these two events, and Djokovic's 2000 points for Wimbledon last year have also been retained. Federer, who was injured and affected and missed the rest of the season, was able to retain some points.
ATP also officially announced the way to this year's finalists. The previous championship points system will not be used. The 8 finalists will be directly determined according to the new ranking system. (Finish)
