ATP World Tour Masters 1000

For the previous circuit, see ATP Masters Series.

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 (as of 2009) Asia. The tournaments are important for the top male players on the professional circuit as the series constitutes the most prestigious tournaments in men's tennis after the four Grand Slam events and the ATP World Tour Finals.

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 "Championship Series, Single Week". From 1993 through 1999, the series was known as the Mercedes-Benz Super 9. In 2000, the name was changed to the Tennis Masters Series (TMS) and then changed to ATP Masters Series in 2004. The present name took effect in 2009.

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. Rafael Nadal holds the record for the most titles with 19.

2009 changes

For the 2009 season major changes took place. The Masters Series was renamed to 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 has not been reduced from nine to eight and the Monte Carlo Masters will remain part of the series although, unlike the other events, it will not have a mandatory player commitment. The Hamburg Masters event was downgraded to a 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. In 2011, six of the nine "1000" level tournaments will be combined ATP and WTA events.

Notes

^ The final of the 2005 Rome Masters between Spaniard Rafael Nadal and Argentine Guillermo Coria marked the longest final of the Open Era (since 1968): 5 hrs. and 14 mins, with 18-year old Nadal prevailing. The 2006 final produced another classic, 5 hrs. and 5 mins long, with Nadal defeating Federer.

^ The 5th Masters Series tournament was played in Hamburg through 2008. Beginning in 2009, the Madrid tournament switched from indoor hard courts to clay and replaced Hamburg as the fifth tournament in the schedule.

^ The 8th Masters Series tournament has had a very turbulent history. It was played in Stockholm from 1990 to 1994, Essen in 1995, Stuttgart in 1996 to 2001, and Madrid from 2002 to 2008. In 2009, Madrid moved to a new spot in the rotation and a new tournament in Shanghai took the eighth spot.
