This list shows the appearances of all participants in the men's tennis ATP World Tour Finals singles since their inception as the Pepsi-Cola Masters in 1970. The current sponsor is Barclays, and they are currently held on hard courts indoors in the O2 Arena in London.
Since 1986, the tournament pits the top eight players on the ATP tour against each other in two groups in which they play three round-robin matches. Two players from each group advance to the semifinals, and the winners to the finals.
Before 1986, there were additional participants.
Participants are listed in order of number of appearances and number of wins. When there are more than eight players listed for any year since 1986, it is usually due to withdrawal because of injury. When a player withdraws early in the tournament, his place is filled by the next-highest qualifier.

Famous quotes containing the words world, tour and/or appearances:
“My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
