YEAR-END MASTERS CUP MOVED

The ATP's season-ending championship will relocate from Shanghai to London next year in a five-year deal.

The last Tennis Masters Cup, featuring the top eight singles players and top eight doubles teams, will be held in Shanghai from Nov. 9-16. It will become the ATP World Tour Finals when it moves back to Europe with about $7 million per year in sponsorship from British bank Barclays.

The 2009 edition will be in London's O2 Arena.

The season-ending championship has been played on five continents with various names and formats since 1970. It's been located in Shanghai since 2005.
