ATP Champions Race - how it works:

A player's ATP Champions Race position is based on points received from the four Grand Slams (Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open), the nine Tennis Masters Series events and his best five additional results from International Series events. The Tennis Masters Cup will count as an additional 19th tournament for the eight players who qualify.

The ranking under this count would thus be slightly different from the ATP singles entry ranking. For full details, go to http://www.atptennis.com/en/players/raceleaderboard/howitworks.html
