The International Tennis Federation has confirmed that the singles rankings of Monday 5 October 2015 will be the cut-off for qualification for the 2015 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters.

Organised by the Tennis Foundation, the 2015 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters will take place on 25th to 29th November at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.

The top eight men’s and women’s singles players and the top four quad singles players as of the world rankings of 5 October will therefore qualify to contest the ITF's year-end championship for the top ranked singles players.

Aniek van Koot of the Netherlands, who won her first NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters women’s title in dramatic fashion last November, is currently world No. 2 in the women’s singles rankings.
