The Estoril Open was supposed to be the next stage for all the Round Robin fuss, but the tournament chairman Joao Lagos said today that the system will not be used in Estoril.
The Round Robin system was supposed to be tested in 11 ATP tournaments this year: Adelaide, Delray Beach, Las Vegas, Vina del Mar, Buenos Aires, Estoril, Queen's, Portschach, Stuttgart, Umag and Stockholm.
I also read that ATP directors will meet next March 22nd, during TMS Miami, to discuss the system. ATP Player Council president, Ivan Ljubicic, declared that the Round Robin system shall be definitely terminated in this meeting, to never resurge again (so we all hope).
