The system of calculating APR points in men's tennis

If we talk about the scoring system, then the ATP rating consists of two tables at the beginning of each year, which become identical at the end of the season. What is the essence of counting? In one table the points collected by a tennis player during a calendar year are summed up. This table has the name "Champion race ATP". Accordingly, at the beginning of the season it is reset. The second table has the name "Rating 52 weeks ATP", and at the beginning of the year it represents the sum of points of each tennis player recruited for the last season. This ATP rating may look something like this.

During the season in the "ATP Championships" points are constantly added according to the points scored in the men's tennis tour. And in the "52 week ATP Ranking" after each tournament, the points received in the previous year are deducted from the rating, and points scored at this tournament this season are added. Thus, by the end of the year the tables are becoming the same.
