ATP World Tour Masters 1000
Men's pro tennis |

|
The ATP World Tour Masters 1000 is a series of nine tennis tournaments that are part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour, held annually throughout the year in Europe, North America and Asia. The series constitutes the most prestigious tournaments in men's tennis after the four Grand Slam events and the ATP World Tour Finals.
Results in ATP Masters 1000 events earn players more world ranking points than regular tournaments, though not as many as Grand Slam events or the year-end ATP World Tour Finals. Up until 2007, most Masters Series finals were contested as best of five-set matches. Currently, all Masters Series events are decided in best of three-set matches.
Novak Djokovic holds the record for the most singles titles with 30 since the Masters series began in 1990.[1] The Bryan Brothers have won a record 36 doubles titles, all as a team. No man has ever won all 9 singles titles in his career, with Novak Djokovic winning 8, and Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Rafael Nadal each winning 7 out of 9 titles. However, in doubles, Daniel Nestor and the Bryan Brothers (Bob and Mike) have each won all 9 titles throughout their careers. Novak Djokovic holds the record for 6 singles titles in a year. In doubles, the Bryans have won 6 titles in a single year once (2014) and 5 titles in a single year twice (2007 and 2013).
History
The series was introduced in 1990 with the inception of the ATP Tour by bringing together the nine most prestigious tournaments of the Grand Prix Tour Championship Series (1970–1989). The events were originally known as the ATP Championship Series, Single Week for the first six years. From 1996 through 1999, the series was known as the Mercedes-Benz Super 9.[2] In 2000, the name was changed to the Tennis Masters Series and then changed to ATP Masters Series in 2004. The present name took effect in 2009.
2009 changes
For the 2009 season major changes took place. The ATP Masters Series was rebranded the "ATP World Tour Masters 1000", with the addition of the number 1000 referring to the number of ranking points earned by the winner of each tournament. Contrary to earlier plans, the number of tournaments was not reduced from nine to eight and the Monte Carlo Masters remains part of the series although, unlike the other events, it will not have a mandatory player commitment. The Hamburg Masters event was downgraded to an ATP World Tour 500 event. The Madrid Masters moved to May and onto clay courts. A new tournament in Shanghai replaced the Hamburg Masters and took over Madrid's former October indoor slot.
Six of the nine "1000" level tournaments are combined ATP and Women's Tennis Association events; more precisely, three WTA Premier Mandatory and three WTA Premier 5 tournaments, which have similar status to the ATP Masters 1000.
