Congratulations. You've just downloaded "The Big One" (version 3.1). If you are viewing this on a word processor, you will have to change the settings a bit because there is a lot of information on every line. If you have a fast internet connection, you can view this document online at http://www.neiu.edu/~jskoo/steve/97allres.txt . This file contains each player's 1997 ATP Tour and Challenger results, not Satellites or qualifying. New in version 3 of the players file is the inclusion of the challengers, or course, and an indication of the level of the tournament played. The key is as follows: GS - Grand Slam S9 - Super 9 CS - Championship Series tournament WS - World Series tournament Ch - Challenger New in version 3.1 is the addition of those final few challengers from November and December along with first round bye information. As usual, if you see anything that you dispute or does not look right, let be know at SD-Gocha@neiu.edu. A special thanks to Jelle Kok whose C programming skills were able to reorganize his results file into something I could read into MS Access and work with.
