ATP Rankings Race to London
What is called the “ATP Race to London” in tennis?
When does the Race start?
What is the difference between the Race and the ATP Rankings?
Players earn their place at the season ATP finale by finishing in the Top 8 of the ATP Race To London, when the ATP Tour regular season concludes after the Rolex Paris Masters. The Race is a calendar-year point’s race that starts at the beginning of each ATP Tour season.
Throughout the season a player adds their best eligible results from up to 18 tournaments to their Race points tally. Winning a prestigious ATP Masters 1000 title earns the champion 1000 points. Titles at ATP 500 and 250-level tournaments return 500 points and 250 points, respectively. Players who don’t win the title still earn points based on how far they advance in the draw.
The Race differs from the ATP Rankings, the historical world rankings. A player’s ranking is determined by their best 18 tournament results over the preceding 52 weeks. A high ranking is needed to get into the world’s best tournaments and rankings also determine if a player is seeded.
More often than not, a player’s Race standing is different to their ranking. In the latter part of the season, a player’s focus turns to their position in the Race because it becomes an accurate predictor of what the player’s year-end ranking will be. And, of course, the Race determines who makes it to London.
