As part of its ongoing effort to keep tennis fun, "Off The Racquet™" has announced the creation of the Golden Bagel Award™. The Bagel is presented to the player - among the Top 8 ATP singles players or participates in the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup - who wins the most 6-0 sets between January 1 and the start of the season-ending Masters event. Davis Cup matches and incomplete sets are not counted. The ATP website is used as the definitive data source. In the event of a tie, the number of "fries" (6-1 sets) will determine the winner. "It's all in good fun," said award presenter Tom Suhler, "and if there's still a tie after the fries are counted, we'll cut the thing in half and have a laugh."
