The International Tennis Federation (ITF) designates a World Champion each year based on performances throughout the year, emphasising the Grand Slam tournaments,〔ITF Constitution, p.26, Rule 2.2(a)(iii)〕 and also considering team events such as the Davis Cup and Fed Cup. Men's and women's singles champions were first named in 1978; the title is now also awarded for doubles, wheelchair, and junior players.〔ITF Constitution, p.53 Appendix E〕 ==Rules and procedures== The ITF's constitution states that no tennis tournament can be designated the "World Championships" without unanimous consent of the ITF Council.〔ITF Constitution, p.29: Article 29(a)〕 There is currently no such tournament. The constitution also states:〔ITF Constitution, p.38 Regulation 3.1〕 :The ITF may award the title of World Champion to players who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, are the most outstanding players in any one-year. The names of players who have been awarded this title shall be listed in the Roll of Honour. It also states:〔 :Official Tennis Championships (the Grand Slam events ) shall be the decisive factor in the determination of the ITF World Champions for each year. For singles, ITF appoints a panel of former top players at the start of the season, which votes on the champion at the end of the season. The boys' and girls' singles and doubles titles prior to 2003 were awarded based on world ranking. Since then singles and doubles rankings have been combined in a single award each for boys and for girls.〔ITF Constitution, Appendix E, pp.53, 60〕 The ITF World Champions' Dinner takes place in Paris during the French Open, to honour the previous year's champions, who are presented with a trophy, but not any monetary prize.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ITF World Champions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
