"Zero Pointers" / "Missed Opportunities"
This will be the Zero-Pointers list for 2008.

Beginning in 2000, the rankings automatically count all grand slam and masters
series events. If a player's ranking is high enough for him to make the
acceptance list or if he plays in the main draw by direct acceptance, or as a
qualifier, lucky loser, wild card, or special exempt, the event will
automatically count towards his ranking total. For those players who are ranked
high enough to enter a mandatory event but do not participate, no matter what
the reason, those players get a "0" for that tournament.

As of 2007, players also receive a zero-pointer for withdrawing late for a second tournament in the same year.

Here is a list for each tournament of players who officially received a 0 for
their point total.
