ATP Points distributed from 2009 onwards[1]
- Gloss
Only World Group and World Group Play-Off matches and only live matches earn points. Dead rubbers earn no points.[1]
1 For the first rubber won 5 points is awarded, the second absorbed rubber grants 10 points that gives a total of 15 available points.[1]
2 If a player goes on to win a live rubber in later rounds, these 10 points are discounted. Only one loss can be converted to points.[1]
3 Team bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 7 live matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.[1]
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.[1]
5 Team bonus awarded to an unchanged doubles team who wins 4 matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.[1]
