ATP Points distributed from 2009 onwards[3]
- Glossary
Only World Group and World Group Play-Off matches and only live matches earn points. Dead rubbers earn no points. If a player does not compete in one or more rounds he will receive points from the previous round when playing at the next tie.[3]
1 A player who wins a singles rubber in the first day of the tie is awarded 5 points, whereas a singles rubber win in tie's last day grants 10 points for a total of 15 available points.[3]
2 For the first round only, any player who competes in a live rubber, without a win, receives 10 ranking points for participation.[3]
3 Team bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 7 live matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.[3]
4 Performance bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 8 live matches in a calendar year. In this case, no Team bonus is awarded.[3]
5 Team bonus awarded to an unchanged doubles team who wins 4 matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.[3]
