NOTE FROM ATP EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN & PRESIDENTDear Media and Tennis Fans,

Welcome to the 2016 ATP World Tour. Another spectacular season lies ahead as the world’s greatest athletes battle across 62 tournaments in 31 countries, in addition to the four Grand Slams, in their quest for prestigious titles, coveted Emirates ATP Rankings points, and the ultimate crown of finishing the season as the year-end ATP World No. 1.

Last season proved to be a record-breaking year for the ATP World Tour both on and off the court. Novak Djokovic compiled one of the best seasons in the history of the Tour, capturing 11 titles including three Grand Slams and an unprecedented six ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles. Novak’s results in recent years speak for themselves. We are privileged to be witnessing one of the greatest players of all time right at the top of his game.

Last year also saw the further development of a strong generation of newcomers who continue to make impressive inroads on the ATP World Tour. The likes of Alexander Zverev, Borna Coric, Nick Kyrgios, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Hyeon Chung, among others, have all shown great promise. It will be fascinating to keep an eye on their progress throughout 2016.

On the tournament side, our events continue to invest in their facilities to ensure that we provide the greatest stages to showcase our amazing athletes. And, with 4.5 million fans coming out to watch ATP events in 2015, the Tour is more popular than ever.

The 2016 season will culminate once again at the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London. Since moving to The O2 in 2009, the tournament has been on a record-breaking run, with more than 1.8 million fans coming to watch the very best the game has to offer. There is currently no better place to host our season-ending event, and we are delighted that the tournament will remain in London through 2018.

May I take this chance to invite you to join us on what we expect to be a thrilling journey in 2016. This Media Guide offers a wealth of information on the tournaments and players who will showcase the game around the world, and we thank you for your coverage and support of men’s professional tennis.

Best wishes,

Chris KermodeATP Executive Chairman & President

atp world tour timeline

The ATP is in its fifth decade as a leading governing body in professional tennis. The organisation was formed in 1972 when a handful of the game’s top players met in a secluded stairwell at the US Open to discuss the need for a players’ association. Under the leadership of newly elected executive director Jack Kramer and president Cliff Drysdale, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) came to life with a goal of changing the game for the better.

The following is a look back aT aTP highlighTs over The PasT four decades:

1973: The ATP establishes the computer ranking system, providing a fair analysis of a player’s performance and creating an objective way to determine entries into tournaments. The ATP Rankings are introduced on August 23 with Ilie Nastase debuting at No. 1. Other actions include placing tournament representatives on the road and standardising prize money distribution and the conduct and discipline code. The ATP shows its strength and sends message of player unity after players boycott Wimbledon to defend Niki Pilic’s position against a Yugoslavian Federation suspension for missing a Davis Cup match.

1974: The Men’s International Professional Tennis Council (MIPTC), made up of ATP, ILTF and tournament directors, is formed to govern the sport as an “independent, democratic, international body for the administration of professional tennis”.

1976: The ATP Doubles computer rankings begin on March 1.

1979: Full-time MIPTC supervisors are employed on the men’s tour, and Penn becomes the official ball of the ATP. In a groundbreaking move, four young Chinese players compete in U.S. tournaments for the first time in over 21 years after being sponsored by the ATP.

1980: The ATP sets up a player pension fund.

1985: At the request of the ATP, MIPTC passes a Drug Testing Rule, making tennis the first professional sport to institute a workable and well-designed drug testing programme.

1986: In an effort to make the calendar more coherent, the MIPTC moves the Australian Open a month back to January (‘87) and The Masters a month earlier to December (‘86).

1988: The players, under ATP CEO Hamilton Jordan, hold a press conference in the US Open parking lot to announce that they will assume more control of the game. “Tennis at the Crossroads” outlines a plan for players to form a new tour in which they would play a major role and bear greater responsibility for the future of the sport. The idea is quickly embraced by the membership. Eighty-five of the Top 100 ranked players sign a letter of support for a new tour within weeks of the news conference. Tournament directors representing many of the world’s leading events voice their support for the players and join them in what was to become a partnership unique in professional sports – players and tournaments each with an equal voice in how the circuit is run.

1989: All Top 50 players contractually agree to play the new ATP Tour in 1990. A new calendar is structured allowing for an eight-week off-season and tournaments are realigned.

1990: Sponsored by IBM, the ATP Tour era begins with an equal partnership between players and tournaments. The circuit features 76 tournaments in 28 countries on six continents, with prize money averaging a 50% increase at the events. Indianapolis tournament director Mark Miles is named ATP CEO.

1991: The first television package for men’s tennis broadcasts 19 tournaments to a worldwide audience.

1993: The ATP Tour extends its global reach, adding Arabian Gulf tournaments in Doha and Dubai. Prize money continues to rise, increasing by 23%.

1995: The ATP Tour launches its first ATP web site, ATP Online, and further broadens its reach by enlisting thesong “Bring It On” from pop star Seal, which he sings at the ATP Tour Awards Gala and Night of the Stars at the ATP World Championships in Hannover.

1996: The Mercedes-Benz/ATP partnership begins with a four-year agreement. As the “Official Car of the ATP”, Mercedes-Benz provides official transportation at ATP tournaments, showcases prominent car displays at tournament sites and positions its Mercedes-Benz ‘star’ signage on nets.

1997: The ATP Senior Tour of Champions is sanctioned.

1998: Players form a new STARS program as the ATP Tour helps make players more accessible to media, sponsors and fans. ATP broadcasts extend their reach to more than 200 countries.

2000: The ATP Tour changes its name to ATP for 2001, introduces a new logo and rebrands its ninepremier tournaments the Tennis Masters Series.

The ATP signs several major new sponsorship agreements, including the naming of South African Airways as Official Airline. Doubles stars gain greater support and exposure through a promotional “ATP Doubles Revolution” campaign and new match format. The player challenge, utilising video review for close line calls, debuts in Miami and is successfully implemented at 13 tournaments.

2007: The ATP introduces a number of changes to the Tour, including the elimination of best-of-5 set finals, as well as reduced draw sizes at five ATP Masters Series events to lessen the physical demands on top players and enhance TV scheduling. The ATP also increases prize money for the first time since 2000 and creates a new multi-million dollar marketing fund.

2008: The top three players, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, take a leadership role by becoming ATP Player Council members with Federer as President. It’s the first time in the organisation’s history the top three players have joined the council in the same two-year period. All worldwide tennis organisations (WTA, ITF, ATP & Grand Slams) form a Tennis Integrity Unit. A new agreement is struck with Barclays to become the title sponsor of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

In the preceding 12 months, Drewett had led discussions resulting in significant prize money increases for all players across all Grand Slams.

PR & MARKETING

PR & MARKETING FAQS(FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

Q: How do I get a media credential for a tennis tournament?A: Each ATP World Tour and Grand Slam tournament is responsible for the media accreditation.

Please contact the tournament press officer listed in the tournament directory (pages 19-31). Please remember some tournaments have very early media credential deadlines so apply early.

Q: How do I interview a player at a tournament?A: A member of ATP PR & Marketing is on site at all ATP World Tour events and will liaise with the media

for all interviews. Interviews can be either post-match availability (in the press conference room or in the mixed zone) or special features. For features as well as photo shoots and TV show appearances, please contact a member of ATP PR & Marketing (below) before the tournament starts.

Q: What is the mixed zone?A: It is a different approach to post-match player interviews allowing a more efficient interaction

between media and players. The mixed zone facilitates immediate contact between media and athletes right after a match in a designated area near the entrance to the Locker Room. At the beginning of each day of main draw play, the ATP will determine the list of press conferences with the rest of the player post-match interviews taking place in the mixed zone.

Q: How do I receive ATP media information such as tournament updates,press releases, ATP Tennis Weekly?

A: If you wish to receive all ATP media information by email, please send a request toAlison Kim ([email protected]). For all media information including live scoring, miscellaneous statistics, updated player bios and results, please visit ATPWorldTour.com

Q: How do I get footage of tennis matches for broadcast purposes?A: Please contact David Cotton at ATP Media ([email protected]).

Q: How do I get photos of tennis players and tournaments?A: Please contact any independent photographer or agency.
