Competition Format

The Wheelchair Tennis Masters follows the round-robin tournament format which is also known as an all-play-all tournament.
In this format, every player or contestant play with each of the other contestants. It is a very fair way to derive a champion and is used mostly in competitions with a large number of rounds with a fixed number of participants.
