Every year the great and the good of the ATP Tour compete in the World Tour Finals.

Just the top eight players in the standings receive an invitation to the cash-laden event. A last big tournament to draw the season's action to a close.

Previously held in Shanghai, the finals have been held at the O2 Arena in London since 2009.

However, despite its popular appeal, the prestige of the finals is open to some debate... after the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, it's hard to see the competition as the next biggest thing on tour.

Who Exactly Has Won The WTF Title?

It's normally quite easy to reel off the list of Grand Slam tennis winners... not quite so easy to do the same for the World Tour Finals.

Novak Djokovic... Yes. Rafael Nadal... No. Roger Federer... Yes. Andy Murray... No.

Federer is in fact a five time champion. It's a record the Swiss player shares with Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl. And the 30-year-old will be attempting to win his sixth world crown when the finals are staged in late November.

Past winners include Boris Becker & John McEnroe (3), Bjorn Borg (2) and Jimmy Connors, Stefan Edberg and Andre Agassi (1).

As yet though, no success for Rafa Nadal. Often beset by injuries the Spaniard has never enjoyed the best of luck in this event (although he did make the final last year, losing 3-6 6-3 1-6 to Federer).

Played on a fast, indoor hard court... that too hardly plays to the strengths of the former world No.1.

Andy Murray also, despite good form at Masters Series level, is yet to make his mark here (although he did reach the semis in 2008 & 2010).

Who Will Win In London In 2011?

Several players have already booked their place in the elite field.

The usual 'Fab Four' will all be attendance as Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray have all made this year's showpiece event.

David Ferrer will also be there... the Spaniard looking to repeat his efforts of 2007 (when making the final).

The remainder, most likely, will be made up of Tomas Berdych, Mardy Fish and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. These guys are best placed at present. That said, Juan Martin Del Potro and Gilles Simon are a couple of players well-placed should the others slip-up.

How Do The World Tour Finals Work?

The top eight players are split into two groups of four. The groups are competed in a round-robin format with the top two from each section going through to the semi-finals.

On occasion players have dropped out through illness and injury, allowing others to step in as substitutes... which makes the qualification calculations mighty confusing!

As usual our dedicated Tennis Betting Service will be covering all the action from London.
