For instance I work full time in a non-tennis job, but I could still enter a minor tournament and win some money - so the definition can not solely be about earning money.

How formal is the Hopman cup? For example if Hev beats Radwanska does it count as a career best win? Do the single results count in W/L for the year, or is it treated as an exhibition?
