The depth of talent in men's tennis is at an all-time high and players will be looking to pick up South African Airways ATP Ranking points at every opportunity throughout the season as the ATP World Tour visits 61 events in 31 countries. This season will see the introduction of three new and distinct tournament tiers – the ATP World Tour Masters 1000, the ATP World Tour 500 and the ATP World Tour 250 – with each tier linked to the ranking system by virtue of its respective winner points level. This season will also see a new calendar of ATP World Tour events introduced, with new and enhanced swings of tournaments designed to help players plan a healthier schedule than in previous seasons. The season will conclude in November with the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London's O2 arena. As well as determining the eight qualifying singles players and doubles teams for this season-ending finale, the South African Airways ATP Rankings and ATP Doubles Standings will also determine the 2009 ATP World Tour Champion player and Doubles Team. The 2009 Official Guide to Professional Tennis contains a wealth of player and ATP World Tour information that includes updated biographies on more than 130 players from more than 30 countries. Thank you for your continued coverage and support for men’s professional tennis and we hope you enjoy the 2009 ATP World Tour season.

A NEW TOUR... A NEW ERA

T

he 2009 season is set to be the most exciting in the ATP’s history with unprecedented changes designed to unlock our sport’s vast potential and ensure that fans can enjoy the world’s best players playing in the most spectacular events in the season’s best weeks. With an enhanced calendar, underpinned

by restructured tiers of tournaments, a full rebrand and unprecedented levels of investment and marketing support, the new ATP World Tour represents change on an unprecedented scale in men’s tennis. Familiar faces will take part in the quest to reach the

pinnacle of tennis as previous ATP World Tour Champions, like Roger Federer and Andy Roddick, look to regain their title from the 2008 ATP World Tour Champion Rafael Nadal. A host of talented younger players like Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gilles Simon and Juan Martin del Potro will also be looking to build on their impressive 2008 rises into the Top 10 and will be threats throughout the 2009 season. A mix of experienced veterans who are no stranger to success, like Novak Djokovic and James Blake, and the emerging stars of tomorrow like Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori, will ensure unparalleled depth to the ATP World Tour and an abundance of storylines to follow during the 2009 campaign. Their talent will reap an ever greater reward during the 2009 season with a 20% increase in player compensation as well as a multi-million dollar bonus pool and a profit sharing model that will for the first time invite players to share in the sport’s growth. The 2009 season will take place over 61 tournaments with three new tiers of events – ATP World Tour Masters 1000s, ATP World Tour 500s and ATP World Tour 250s - that are explicitly linked together and to the ranking system by virtue of their winner points levels. The new points scale is simplified and allows fans to easily follow their favorite players. Backed by a record breaking annual financial commitment from tournaments in excess of $100 million, it’s a concept that is simple and effective. Each player will compete in eight mandatory ATP

2009 ATP World Tour Structure

*Grand Slams are not ATP events.

World Tour Masters 1000 events and will also commit to four ATP World Tour 500 tournaments. Together with the four Grand Slams these 16 results will comprise the bulk of a player’s South African Airways 2009 ATP Ranking. The best two other tournament results will also be added to that tally. The change will ensure that fans are guaranteed to see their favorite stars at the ATP World Tour’s premier events. The 2009 ATP World Tour calendar will also offer several cohesive swings within the full season. Each of these swings builds to a mini-crescendo along the way to the season’s grand finale. Improvements to the calendar in 2009 include an uninterrupted European clay season, a new and dedicated swing through Asia in the fall leading to a new ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Shanghai, and a fluid, year-end European indoor swing to set the stage for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London where both the singles and doubles 2009 ATP World Tour Champions will be awarded. That event in London is one of several ATP World Tour events to boast a new or enhanced facility. The O2 arena that will host the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals is considered one of the finest venues on the planet. Other new facilities playing host to tennis in 2009 include the clay courts at Caja Magica in Madrid, an indoor arena in Valencia and a new secondary court at the spectacular Qi Zhong Tennis Centre in Shanghai. In total, tournaments are investing more than $800 million into new and existing stadia at ATP World Tour events spread across the world’s finest cities from Sydney to Acapulco, Los Angeles to Shanghai, Rome to Dubai and beyond.

Every stop this season will provide an opportunity for these world class talents to take another step toward the sport’s ultimate prize: becoming the 2009 ATP World Tour Champion. Thank you for your continued support of men’s professional tennis and enjoy the exciting 2009 ATP World Tour season. The stars of the ATP World Tour will FEEL IT. Will you?

ATP WORLD TOUR

I

n 2009, tennis fans worldwide will feel the power and intensity of the ATP World Tour through the continuation of its advertising campaign – FEEL IT. The multi-million dollar campaign, specifically designed to include any player featured on the ATP World Tour, will showcase the sport’s core values as a one-on-one gladiatorial battle, full of intensity and passion. The FEEL IT campaign is one part of a wider marketing initiative to support the wide-ranging changes being undertaken by the ATP. In 2009, the ATP World Tour will implement its largest set of changes in almost two decades in an effort to showcase the sport like never before. With a new tournament structure and layout, the overhaul will spark more than $1 billion of investment into men’s professional tennis through new facilities, upgrades, marketing, promotion and prize money increases. As well as new tournaments and record breaking levels of prize money, the ATP World Tour will also introduce a new brand look and identity based on extensive consumer research that will make the Tour more fan friendly. This direction marks another defining moment in the history of the ATP, which formed in 1972 when a handful of the game’s leading 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. Among the highlights: 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 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.

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 drug-testing 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 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 seven 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%.

1978: The Nations Cup, featuring eight competing nations, becomes the World Team Cup in Düsseldorf – the first ATP Championship.

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

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

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 nine premier tournaments the Tennis Masters Series. 2001: A newly launched Web site, ATPtennis.com, highlights the new tournament structure. ATP Properties forms, instigating a more commercial focus and new marketing, licensing and broadcasting opportunities. 2002: Players gain greater visibility with appearances in television shows and popular magazines, prompting the ATP to launch its own publication: DEUCE magazine. The ATP combines with the WTA Tour to create the “One Game” program, enacting initiatives to better serve professional tennis fans. 2005: Etienne de Villiers is named ATP Chairman in June. ATP stars unite behind ATP World No. 1 Roger Federer to raise funds for tsunami victims, donating prize money and organizing the “ATP All-Star Rally for Relief.” At the exhibition, the ATP and UNICEF launch a global partnership called ACE, Assisting Children Everywhere. 2006: De Villiers expands his role to become ATP Executive Chairman and President. The ATP signs several major new sponsorship agreements, including the

naming of South African Airways as Official Airline. Stanford Financial Group becomes the Official Partner of ATP Doubles as doubles stars gain greater support and exposure through a promotional “ATP Doubles Revolution” campaign and new match format. The player challenge, utilizing video review for close line calls, debuts in Miami and is successfully implemented at 13 tournaments. 2007: The ATP introduces enhancements to fan, sponsor, media and player experience at tournaments, including elimination of best-of-5 set finals; reduced draw sizes at five ATP Masters Series events, making them 56-player fields to ensure player health and enhance TV scheduling; and Sunday starts to build Opening Weekends at ATP tournaments. The ATP also increases prize money for the first time since 2000 and creates a new multi-million dollar marketing fund. A renewed marketing effort encourages fans to rediscover the tandem game and find out why ATP “Doubles Rules.” ATP revenues grow by 15%, a record 4 million fans attend ATP tournaments and broadcast hours grow with record numbers watching on television. 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 organization's history the top three players have joined the council in the same twoyear period. All worldwide tennis organizations (WTA, ITF, ATP & Grand Slam Committee) formed an integrity unit. The ATP's FEEL IT player promotion campaign is implemented throughout the season. Sponsorship deals with South African Airways, Ricoh and Enel were renewed while a new agreement was struck with Barclays to become the sponsor of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

2008 IN REVIEW Novak Djokovic became the first Serbian Grand Slam singles champion in history after defeating unseeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(2) in the Australian Open final. Djokovic hit 46 winners and 11 aces on his way to claiming his maiden Grand Slam title in three hours and five minutes. At the age of 20 years, 250 days, Djokovic became the fourth youngest Australian Open champion in the Open Era. The Belgrade native was the first man other than Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal to win a Grand Slam title since Marat Safin captured the 2005 Australian Open. Tsonga had been attempting to become the first unseeded champion at the Australian Open since Mark Edmondson in 1976. He was the seventh unseeded player to reach the final and had been bidding to become the first player to win his first ATPlevel title at a Grand Slam since Gustavo Kuerten at Roland Garros in 1997. Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram became the first Israeli Grand Slam men’s doubles champions after a 7-5, 7-6(4) victory over Frenchmen Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra.

2008 IN REVIEW Rafael Nadal captured his fourth straight Roland Garros crown with a 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 victory over Roger Federer. The score line reflected the second most one-sided Roland Garros final in the Open Era after the 1977 final. Nadal became just the second player after Bjorn Borg (1978-81) to win four consecutive Roland Garros titles since 1925. The achievement also saw him join Federer, Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only players to have won at least four consecutive titles at a Grand Slam in the Open Era. The 22-year-old Nadal joined Ilie Nastase (1973) and Borg (1978, 1980) as just the third player in the Open Era to win the singles title without dropping a set. The Spaniard extended his unbeaten run at Roland Garros to 28 straight matches. Federer is just the second player after Jaroslav Drobny since 1925 to lose his first three Roland Garros finals. Pablo Cuevas and Luis Horna became the first South Americans to win a Grand Slam doubles crown in the Open Era as they beat No. 2 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic 6-2, 6-3. OPEN ERA TITLE LEADERS (SINCE 1968) 6- Bjorn Borg (1974, ’75, ’78-81) 4- Rafael Nadal (2005-08) 3- Gustavo Kuerten (1997, 2000-01) Ivan Lendl (1984, ’86, ’87) Mats Wilander (1982, ’85, ’88)

2008 IN REVIEW Rafael Nadal became the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1980 to clinch the Roland GarrosWimbledon double. The 22-year-old made it third time lucky against Roger Federer with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7 win over the five-time defending champion, to emulate the achievement of fellow Spaniard Manuel Santana, the 1966 titlist. At four hours and 48 minutes in duration, it was the longest final in Wimbledon history, and the 9-7 deciding set was the longest in a championship since 2001. Nadal held two of four championship points in the fourth set tie-break at 7-6 and 8-7. Nadal finished with a 12-0 record on grass for the season. Federer's all-time record 65-match winning streak on grass, including 40 in a row at Wimbledon, came to an end. No. 2 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic captured their first Grand Slam title together as they defeated No. 8 seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett 7-6(12), 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-3. The 35-year-old Nestor completed a career Golden Grand Slam with his fourth different doubles Slam title. It was the first doubles Slam crown for Zimonjic.

2008 IN REVIEW It was a familiar sight at Flushing Meadows as Roger Federer lifted the US Open champion's trophy for the fifth consecutive year. The World No. 2 became the first player since 1924 to win five straight US Open titles as he defeated No. 6 Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. It was the first US Open Monday final since 1987. The 27-year-old Swiss superstar improved to 13-4 lifetime in Grand Slam finals and moved to within one of all-time leader Pete Sampras (14-4). He also became the first player in history to win two Grand Slam tournaments (Wimbledon, 2003-07) five consecutive years. He's reached the final in 13 of the last 14 Grand Slam tournaments. Federer joined American Bill Tilden as the only players in over 80 years to capture five straight US Open titles. Tilden won six in a row from 1920-25. Murray was the first British player to reach a Slam final since Greg Rusedski at the US Open in 1997. Top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan won their second US Open crown with a 7-6(5), 7-6(10) win over Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes.

2008 IN REVIEW Novak Djokovic was in devastating form as he capped a huge season by racing to his first Tennis Masters Cup title with a 6-1, 7-5 victory over Nikolay Davydenko in one hour and 42 minutes. With his fourth trophy of the season he collected $1.24 million. The victory in the final earned Djokovic 250 points in the South African Airways ATP Rankings to take him to within just 10 points of second-place Roger Federer at the season-end. The Belgrade native, who went 2-1 in round robin play, was in blistering form, breaking the Davydenko serve twice as he raced to a 5-0 lead. At 1-1 in the second set, Djokovic broke serve once again with a forehand passing shot.

2008 IN REVIEW Novak Djokovic, the 2007 runner-up, captured his first Indian Wells title by defeating American Mardy Fish 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in two hours and four minutes. Fish fought back from a 4-2 deficit in the second set to extend 20-year-old Djokovic to a third set for the first time in the tournament. Djokovic decisively fired three straight aces in the opening game of the third set with Fish holding triple break point. It was the Serbian’s third career ATP Masters Series shield. Fish defeated five seeds en route to the final, including wins over three Top 10 players: No. 4 Nikolay Davydenko (3rd RD), No. 7 David Nalbandian (QF) and No. 1 Roger Federer (SF). The 26-year-old Fish was the fifth-lowest ranked player to reach an ATP Masters Series final.

Fourth seeds Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram beat No. 3 seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic 6-4, 6-4 to clinch their 12th team title.

Tournament Director

2008 IN REVIEW Rafael Nadal won his 10th ATP Masters Series shield and a record fourth consecutive Masters Series Monte-Carlo crown with a 7-5, 7-5 win over World No. 1 Roger Federer. Second seed Nadal rallied from 0-4 in the second set to beat Federer in the final for the third consecutive year. The 21-year-old has not dropped a set during his past two title runs in Monte-Carlo. The left-hander boasts a 24-1 career record (21 straight wins) in Monaco, with his only loss coming in the third round to Guillermo Coria in 2003. The Spaniard became the first player to win four straight Monte-Carlo titles since New Zealand’s Anthony Wilding from 1911-14. Later in the afternoon Nadal joined Jim Courier (1991 Indian Wells) as the only players to win both titles in an ATP Masters Series tournament (since 1990), after he teamed up with compatriot Tommy Robredo to beat No. 4 seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles 6-3, 6-3 in the doubles final. Nadal is the first player to win both titles in Monte Carlo since Ilie Nastase in 1973.

2008 IN REVIEW Andy Murray claimed his second successive ATP Masters Series shield by halting Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-4, 7-6(6) in the final of the Mutua Madrilena Masters Madrid. This was the last time as a fall indoor event before switching to clay in 2009. The 21-year-old Scot was competing in his third final in four events, having captured his first ATP Masters Series crown at Cincinnati (d. Djokovic) in August and reached his maiden Grand Slam final at the US Open (d. Nadal, l. to Federer). The Dunblane native became the first British player to win two ATP Masters Series titles, as Tim Henman (2003 Paris) and Greg Rusedski (1998 Paris) both won one each. He became the first British player to win four titles in a season, eclipsing Mark Cox who captured three in 1975. Simon, who played a decisive third set tie-break four times during the tournament, was appearing in his first ATP Masters Series final. In the doubles final, the Polish duo of No. 7 seeds Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski earned their first ATP Masters Series shield with a 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 4 seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles.

2008 IN REVIEW Andy Murray earned his first ATP Masters Series shield with a 7-6(4), 7-6(5) victory in two hours and 22 minutes over Novak Djokovic in the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters final.

In the second set, Murray broke for a 5-3 advantage and held four match points in the next game before Djokovic broke. Both players held to force another tie-break. Murray gained a 4-2 lead and went up 6-4 on another Djokovic double-fault before securing his third title of the year on his sixth match point.

WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY From 1877 to 1921 the men’s singles was decided on a challenge round system, the previous year’s winner standing out until a winner of the so-called All Comers event qualified to challenge. The same system applied in the men’s doubles from 1886 to 1921. It never applied in the women’s or mixed doubles. In those years, the presence of the previous year’s 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.

US OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORY 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 USTA’s 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.
