| NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters - Introduction |
 | | NEC Masters Logo |
As the richest and most prestigious event on the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour, the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters invites the top eight men and women based on the ranking after the US Open at the end of the year.
The round robin format aking to the ATP Masters Cup and WTA Championships, guarantees a player must face at least four of the top eight players in the world to gain the title.
Presently held in the Netherlands, the NEC Masters has become the most coveted trophy amongst the top players. The NEC Masters was initiated in 1994 to honour the top players who have shown dedication and professionalism to the sport. At the same time it is an opportunity to show the general public and the media that wheelchair tennis played at its highest level is not only challenging and dynamic, but also an exciting sport to watch.
After six successful years at its original home of the the Indoor Sport Centre in Eindhoven, the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters moved in 2000, to Amersfoort, where an independent group had purchased the organising rights for this unique event.
In 2006 the NEC Singles Masters took place for the first time in Amsterdam at the Frans Otten Stadium where it will remain until at least 2008.
