Perspective
The 2016 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters took place from 30 November to 4 December at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in London, United Kingdom. It was the 23rd edition of the tournament (13th for quad players). The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2016 ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour. The event takes place on indoor hard courts. It serves as the season-ending championships for singles players on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour. The eight players who qualify for the men's and women's events, and six players who qualify for the quad event, are split into two groups of three or four. During this stage, players compete in a round-robin format (meaning players play against all the other players in their group). The two players with the best results in each group progress to the semifinals, where the winners of a group face the runners-up of the other group. This stage, however, is a knock-out stage.[1]
Format
The Wheelchair Tennis Masters has a round-robin format, with six/eight players divided into two groups of three/four. The six/eight seeds are determined by the UNIQLO Wheelchair Tennis Rankings as they stood on 10 October 2016.[2] All matches are the best of three tie-break sets, including the final. This year saw an increase in the number of players competing in the quad singles, with six players now completing for the title, up from four the previous year.[2]
