The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has announced the entry and ranking cut-off dates for qualification for the 2018 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters and the 2018 UNIQLO Wheelchair Doubles Masters.

As included in the ITF wheelchair tennis rules and regulations for 2018, the entry deadline and acceptance date for the doubles and singles Masters are set on the Monday of the week beginning six weeks prior to the first day of the event. 

That means the ranking of October 15 will be the cut-off for the 2018 NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters, which will be held for the first time at the United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Campus at Lake Nona in Orlando, Florida.

The event will be hosted by the USTA from November 28 to December 2.
