Statistical information
These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 2012 ATP World Tour: the Grand Slam tournaments, the tennis event at the London Summer Olympic Games, the ATP World Tour Finals, the ATP World Tour Masters 1000, the ATP World Tour 500 series, and the ATP World Tour 250 series.[3] The players/nations are sorted by: 1) total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation); 2) cumulated importance of those titles (one Grand Slam win equalling two Masters 1000 wins, one ATP World Tour Finals win equalling one-and-a-half Masters 1000 win, one Masters 1000 win equalling two 500 events wins, one Olympic win equalling one-and-a-half 500 event win, one 500 event win equalling two 250 events wins); 3) a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy; 4) alphabetical order (by family names for players).

Following is a list of notable players (winners of a main tour title, and/or part of the ATP Rankings Top 100 (singles) or Top 50 (doubles) for at least one week) who announced their retirement from professional tennis, became inactive (after not playing for more than 52 weeks), or were permanently banned from playing, during the 2012 season:
- Peter Luczak (born 31 August 1979 in Warsaw, Poland, moved to Australia in 1980) joined the main circuit in 2000, peaking at No. 64 in singles in 2009. Competing mainly on the ITF Men's Circuit and the ATP Challenger Tour during his career, the Australian's best result came with a gold medal in doubles, alongside countryman Paul Hanley, at the 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games. Luczak retired from the sport after losing in the second round (w/ Hewitt) of the Australian Open doubles in January.[14][15]
- Rainer Schüttler (born 25 April 1976 in Korbach, West Germany, now Germany) turned professional in 1995, reaching career-high rankings of singles No. 5 in 2004, and doubles No. 40 in 2005. Schüttler won four singles and four doubles titles during his stint on the main circuit, his best Grand Slam results coming with a final at the Australian Open (2003, lost to Agassi), and a semifinal run at Wimbledon (2008). Alongside countryman Nicolas Kiefer, the German also took the silver medal in doubles at the 2004 Athens Olympics, losing the final in five sets (to González/Massú). Schüttler announced 2012 would be his final season as a professional.[16]
Fernando González (born 29 July 1980 in La Reina, Chile) turned professional in 1999, reached his highest singles ranking, No. 5, in 2007. He is the fourth male tennis player in history to have won each Olympic medal: gold in doubles (partnering with Nicolas Massú) and bronze in singles at Athens 2004, and silver in singles at Beijing 2008 after losing to Rafael Nadal in the final. González won eleven singles and three doubles titles in his career. He reached at least the quarter-final round of all four Grand Slam tournaments, and his well remembered for the 2007 Australian Open final lost against Roger Federer. In the last years he suffered with problems in his right hip and in his right knee, which forced him to retire. He played his match at the 2012 Sony Ericsson Open, losing to Nicolas Mahut in 3 tight sets.[17]
- José Acasuso (born 20 October 1982 in Posadas, Argentina) turned professional in 1999, reaching career-high rankings of singles No. 20 and doubles No. 27, both in 2006. Mainly a clay court specialist, the Argentine took three singles and five doubles titles on the surface. As member of the Argentinian Davis Cup team, Acasuso competed in two lost finals (2006, 2008), but led his country to a title at the World Team Cup (2007). Acasuso announced his retirement in February, less than a year after his last match in the French Open qualifying in May 2011.[18]
- Ivan Ljubičić (born 19 March 1979 in Banja Luka, SFR Yugoslavia, now Bosnia and Herzegovina) turned professional in 1998, peaking at No. 3 in singles in 2006, ending two seasons in the Top Ten (2005–06). During his career Ljubičić won 10 singles titles, including one Masters shield at Indian Wells (2010), and went past the fourth round twice in Grand Slam tournaments, reaching one quarterfinal at the Australian Open (2006) and one semifinal at the French Open (2006). Playing for his country, Ljubičić partnered Mario Ančić to a bronze medal in doubles at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and took part in one successful Davis Cup campaign (2005). The Croat announced he would play his last tournament at the Monte Carlo Masters in April[19], where he lost to countryman Ivan Dodig in straight sets.
- Juan Pablo Brzezicki (born April 12, 1982 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) turned professional in 2001, peaking at No. 94 in singles in 2008. Competing mainly on the ITF Men's Circuit and the ATP Challenger Tour during his career, the veteran's best result came with the doubles trophy in the Dutch Open in 2007. In singles he reached the third round of the French Open in the same year, which is his best Grand Slam result. He was never part of the Argentina Davis Cup team but he will represent his country for the first and last time in the 2012 Power Horse World Team Cup. He announced his retirement at the 2012 Copa Claro[20].
