How do the ranking points work when you play the Davis Cup?
I think it's a great thing the ATP starting this year because it helps players (especially for the unranked players) get ranking points for their ranking so that they can get a direct entry to the main draw in more tournaments than having to get through the qualifying draw to end up losing easily in the first round in the main draw.
forgot "did" between ATP --- starting.
ATP made a good gesture by inviting ITF and Davis Cup players to be rewarded from 2009..'Tis a beginning, not perfect yet. As you mentioned it gives a wonderful opportunity for lower ranked players to see some daylights ? Besides they play Best of 5 sets, and they DO deserve to earn points.
Only the elite World Group and W.G playoff rounds for the singles and doubles are rewarded.
ATP considers DC as a tier 1, of 500 level. No commitment is required from the players, and no penalty of no show as long as there's a sufficient time notice. Players will accumulate the points dur' 52 weeks as is with ATP point system. They earn 5 to 75 pts per single victory. Sliding scale , starting at 5 pts per single victory in a DC play offs to 75 pts at a DC final match victory. And no points for dead Rubber. 'Tis all I'd discovered, I also wanted to know about ATP's DC point allocations for sometime. ATPtour website made it extremely difficult to understand, and no info on the points allocations precisely either. Thanks for asking this question, I have learned a little more about ATP & DC agreement.
