Tennis Masters Series records and statistics


In tennis, the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 is a term applied to a series of tennis tournaments that are ranked below the four Majors and Year-End Championships. Nonetheless, they are the most prestigious tournaments on the ATP World Tour. The circuit began in 1970, two years after the Open Era when tennis became professional, and has undergone several name changes and slight alterations to the format, in line with overhauls of the sport by the Association of Tennis Professionals.

A number of players hold records for winning the tournaments multiple times, while other records are achieved for successive tournament wins, mini-combination victories amongst others.

The only player in history who has won all 9 of the 'slots' (times of the year these events are played) in his career (an achievement which the ATP has labelled the 'Career Golden Masters') is Ivan Lendl. He achieved this in 1989 when he won the Stockholm event.

As of 31 July 2016, Novak Djokovic holds first place in overall number of ATP Masters 1000 titles won with 30. Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan have won the most doubles titles of all-time with 36.

The circuit began in 1970 with the inception 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". 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.
