When the Grand Slam, the four major tournaments – Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open – that sit at the top of the tennis calendar roll around, the ATP calendar pivots around them. These events award the most points, the biggest prize money and the highest prestige, so players schedule their seasons to peak at the right time. The ATP works closely with the Grand Slam organizers to ensure ranking points are allocated fairly and that the tour’s logistics line up with the majors. Whether it’s a dramatic Wimbledon final or a night‑time clash at the US Open, the Grand Slam tournaments shape the storylines that dominate the ATP season.

Beyond the majors, the ATP runs a tiered structure of events – ATP 250, 500 and Masters 1000 – each offering different point values and draws. This hierarchy lets rising stars earn points at smaller venues while established players chase bigger rewards at the top tier. The ATP also runs the Challenger Tour and Futures circuits, which act as proving grounds for future stars.
