The 2017 Wheelchair Tennis Masters (also known as the 2017 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters for sponsorship reasons) is a wheelchair tennis tournament played at the Loughborough University Tennis Centre in Loughborough, United Kingdom, from 29 November to 3 December 2017. It is the season-ending event for the highest-ranked wheelchair tennis singles players on the 2017 ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour.
Tournament
The 2017 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters took place from 29 November to 3 December at the Loughborough University Tennis Centre in Loughborough, United Kingdom. It was the 24th edition of the tournament (14th for quad players). The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2017 ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour. The event takes place on indoor hard courts. It serves as the season-ending championship for singles players on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour.
The eight players who qualify for the men's and women's events, and the six players who qualify for the quad event, are split into two groups of three or four. During this stage, players compete in a round-robin format (meaning players play against all the other players in their group).
The two players with the best results in each group progress to the semifinals, where the winners of a group face the runners-up of the other group. This stage, however, is a knock-out stage.
