The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) was formed in 1972 to protect the interests of male professional Tennis players. (Female players formed the Women's Tennis Association the year after.) In 1990, the association became the organizer of the principal worldwide tennis tour, thereafter known as the ATP Tour.

Tournament categories

The ATP Tour at present has five categories of tennis tournaments belonging to its tour:

  1. Grand Slam events
  2. Tennis Masters Series Tournaments
  3. International Series Gold Tournaments
  4. International Series Tournaments
  5. Challenger Tournaments
  6. Satellite Series Circuits
  7. Futures Tournaments

Players who earn the most tour points play season-ending events. Players who earn the most singles points can play in the Tennis Masters Cup, where players with the most doubles points qualify for the World Doubles tennis championship.

The ATP tour also oversees an early summer World Team Tennis championship.

The following table further provides structural details for ATP tour tennis:

Rankings

ATP Race

The ATP defines the ATP Race as "an easy-to-understand, simple-to-follow annual race from season start to season end. Every player starts at zero at the beginning of the year and the player who accumulates the most points by season's end is the World Number 1" and claims that the Race "is the mathematical method of ranking male professional tennis players on a calendar-year basis."

According to the ATP: "Every player, regardless of his performances in the previous year, starts with zero points. Players count 18 performances in their INDESIT ATP 2005 Race total. Players eligible to enter the Grand Slams and Tennis Masters Series events must count those events and their best five other results from the International Series events. The Tennis Masters Cup will count as an additional 19th tournament for the eight players who qualify."

ATP Entry Ranking

The ATP defines the ATP Entry Ranking as "the objective merit-based method used for determining qualification for entry and seeding in all Tournaments for both singles and doubles, except as modified for World Team Championship, World Doubles Championship and Tennis Masters Cup...The Entry Ranking period is the immediate past 52 weeks, except for: the Tennis Masters Cup, which is dropped on the Monday following the last ATP event of the following year; Futures Series Tournaments, that are only entered into the System on the second Monday following the Tournament's week. Once entered, all Tournaments, except for the Tennis Masters Cup, remain in the System for 52 consecutive weeks."

The ATP explains that the reason behind continuing with a 52-week rolling system is "to determine seedings and tournament entry status * it is not practical to use the INDESIT ATP 2005 Race." It further notes that "The Race, while indicating the hottest players in the game at any stage, does not necessarily indicate an overall standing in the game. This is especially valid at the start of the year when early tournament winners may well be leading the Race but are not yet established top players for the purposes of seeding and tournament entry."
