he ATP World Tour saw a new but familiar face ascend to the No. 1 South African Airways ATP Ranking for the first time last season. After seven years of dominance by superstars Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic emerged in 2011 to finish No. 1. The Serb compiled his best season by capturing 10 titles, including three Grand Slam crowns and a record five ATP World Tour Masters 1000 championships. Djokovic began the season with a 41-match winning streak and never looked back. For the fourth season in a row, the Big 4 of Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Andy Murray finished in the top four ranking positions. When one or more of the foursome competed in a tournament during the year, they combined to win 22 of 23 event trophies. In Grand Slam play going back to 2005 Roland Garros, the top trio of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have collected an amazing 26 of 27 Slam titles. In the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, Federer defeated Frenchman JoWilfried Tsonga to claim a record sixth year-end title in his 100th final. Federer closed the season with three titles and on a 17-match winning streak. He finished in the Top 3 for the ninth consecutive season. Along with their Grand Slam supremacy, Nadal is the all-time leader with 19 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles and Federer follows with 18. Federer is No. 4 on the Open Era titles list with 70 career championships and with his strong finish, he is well-positioned to challenge for the No. 1 ranking in 2012. He is one week away from tying Pete Sampras record for most weeks (286) at top spot. While the Top 4 grabbed many of the headlines throughout the season, a group of new champions emerged. Last year on the ATP World Tour there were 10 first-time winners from as many countries, with nine finishing in the Top 50. Canadian Milos Raonic, at 20, was the youngest winner on tour. In doubles, Americans Bob and Mike Bryan are coming off another stellar campaign with eight titles, including their 11th Grand Slam crown. They finished as the No. 1 team for a record seventh time in the past nine years and with an Open Era record 75 titles together. However, at seasons end they were upstaged by Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor, who won the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in their first year as a team to finish No. 2 in the 2011 ATP Doubles Team Rankings. In 2011, the ATP announced significant prize money increases over the next three years with ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events leading the way with a 9 percent increase per year for each of the next three years, topping $90 million (excluding Grand Slams) by 2014. As part of the agreement, prize money at the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals will increase 30% over the next three years from $5

million to $6.5 million. Additionally, the player bonus pool will increase 33 percent to $8 million in 2014. Off the court, 2011 marked the launch of ATP ACES For Charity, a global initiative aimed at supporting player and tournament charitable activities, and giving back to communities where ATP tournaments are played. Twelve inaugural honourees, including the Rafa Nadal Foundation, the Bryan Brothers Foundation and the Washington Tennis Education Foundation, received $10,000 grants. The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Gala in London, attended by the worlds top eight players and doubles teams, also raised more than $600,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Childrens Charity. At the beginning of the season ATP launched its new GAME ON campaign, capturing the raw emotion, athleticism and individuality of the worlds best players, set against a spectacular fantasy stadium. The season ended on a high with more than 250,000 fans flocking to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals for the third consecutive year. The event was watched by a record 95 million viewers in 184 countries, a 60 percent increase on 2010. The ATPs official website and live scoring received 9 million visits, a 30 percent increase on the previous year. Throughout the year the ATPs web and mobile products attracted more than 225 million visits, a 30 percent increase on 2010. As focus now moves to 2012, there is no shortage of storylines to captivate fans: Can Djokovic put together another season to rival his 2011 dominance? Will someone break through into the Top 4? Will Federer, at 30 and the oldest player in the Top 10, capture an Olympic gold medal in singles on the hallowed lawns of Wimbledon? Will Murray break through to capture his first Grand Slam title? Can Nadal regain the year-end No. 1 South African Airways ATP Ranking he held in 2008 and 2010? So many questions with so many possibilities, given the depth of talent on the ATP World Tour.
he ATP is in its fifth decade as a leading governing body in professional tennis. The organization 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. Over the years, new tournaments, record-breaking levels of prize money and facility enhancements have made the sport entertaining to fans around the globe. Following is a look back at ATP highlights over the past four decades: Among the highlights: 1973: The ATP establishes the computer ranking system, providing a fair analysis of a players 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 standardizing prize money distribution and the conduct and discipline code. The ATP shows it 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 with Bob Hewitt at No. 1. 1978: The Nations Cup, featuring eight competing nations, becomes the World Team Cup in Dsseldorf the first ATP Championship. 1979: Full-time MIPTC supervisors are employed on the mens 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. 1983: ATP membership approaches 500. 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 drugtesting program.
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 worlds 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 mens 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 the song 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 MercedesBenz star signage on nets. 1997: The ATP Senior Tour of Champions is sanctioned. 1998: Players form a new STARS program as the ATP

YOUNGEST CHAMPION Boris Becker, 1985 (17 Yrs., 7 Mos.) OLDEST CHAMPION Arthur Ashe, 1975 (31 Yrs., 11 Mos.)
From 1877 to 1921 the mens singles was decided on a challenge round system, the previous years winner standing out until a winner of the so-called All Comers event qualified to challenge. The same system applied in the mens doubles from 1886 to 1921. It never applied in the womens or mixed doubles. In those years, the presence of the previous years winner in the last match means that the title was decided in a challenge round. The Championships were staged at the All England Club, Worple Road, Wimbledon, from 1877 until 1921 when the club moved to Church Road, Wimbledon.

In 1924, after the completion of the West Side Tennis Club Stadium, the championship returned to Forest Hills, and was held there through 1977, when it moved to the USTAs new tennis complex at Flushing Meadows, N.Y. National Championships of the United States Tennis Association were provided for when that body was organized, May 21, 1881. The first championship of the United States under uniform conditions, open to all comers and sanctioned by the National Association, was held at The Casino, Newport, R.I., in August 1881, and for 34 years thereafter without interruption. Before 1890, the national doubles championship was played in conjunction with the singles tournament. From 1890 to 1906 tournaments were held in the East and West, and the sectional winners at these meets then played off for the privilege of meeting the standing-out champions in the challenge round. The 1918 championship was a playing-through tournament, the sectional and preliminary doubles and the challenge round having been done away with. In 1919 the plan of the qualifying sectional winners was restored, although an exception was made in the case of the Australian teams on a visit to the United States at that time, and the last challege round in national doubles was played that year. Since 1920 there have been few changes.
