Can you get the info about it Andrew?
Thanks.

Do you know if those standings you listed were updated after the Grand Prix Masters, or are they just the top finishers before the event was played? Because I have the 1982 Masters final on tape, & the commentators mention the top 8 qualifiers, which correspond with what you posted for that year, but they don't update the standings after the event. I imagine Lendl would pass Vilas if they did, do you know if the Masters offered any Grand Prix points? Because I also have matches from the '89 Masters final on tape, & it appears as though they do update the standings after the event(Edberg got 850 pts for winning it)



I have several matches from the '89 Masters on tape, & they do a points breakdown for players that includes Grand Prix points earned at the Dallas WCT event in '89. Did Dallas give Grand Prix points in other years in the '80s?

After being parto of the GP from 1978 to 1981 ( before, there were 2 separate circuits), WCT´s boss Lamar Hunt decided to regain the " 2 different tours" formula, though WCT slided downwords with each passing day.By the mid 80´s, they only had 3-4 exclusive events and their much coveted Dallas Finals which in fact was not the end of a specific circuit like it had been in the 70´s and early 80´s.

Does anyone have the grand prix standings for each year with the number of points that each player earned for that particular year?

I was partcularly interested in 1980. I have the points of the top 50 for that year but was wondering if anyone has the points for those outside the top 50.

Great lists, I specially like 1975 and 1977.1979/1981 are very good, too

I had almost completely forgotten about Zeljko Franulovic, but he was a top player for a while. Seems he had an injury which hampered his career.
