Tennis Tour Calendar Explained

Tennis Tour Calendar Explained.
The calendar focuses on the four Grand Slams - the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. But there’s more to life than the majors - in fact, tennis has one of the longest seasons in professional sport, with top players having just four weeks off a year.
The men’s (ATP) and women’s (WTA) tours usually take in 31 countries worldwide during a tightly packed schedule, with several mandatory events.
Here's how the tennis' tour calendar is made up?

Bro I need like a 3 hour video going in depth into each of these tournaments along the way and what makes them special

[@joshuawainaina8103]

Maybe not a 3 hour video but at least a 20 min video

[@nathanherzka9355]

There are plenty more, check out @tennis for dummies, best channel

[@jeffhermida4788]

at least one masters 1000 should be grass.

[@26-mahaveersinhparmar92]

Then Federer would have got more masters than what is right now lesser than Novak and rafa

[@jeffhermida4788]

@@26-mahaveersinhparmar92 Definitely! Just looked up stats ND 54 finals, RN 52 finals, RF 50 finals. RF has 86% win rate on grass. RF would have more masters than his current count for sure.

[@aes1373]

There should, but the issue with the Grass season is that due to the nature of up keeping grass, it's a very short season. So to squeeze a Masters in there could disrupt the already contested calender. Usually you'd want at least a week gap between a Masters and a Slam (like it used to be with the Rome Masters and RG). If they do this pre Wimbledon, it would really disrupt the calender.

[@jeffhermida4788]

@@aes1373 I see what you mean. But, can the ATP turn Stuttgart or even Halle into a masters? Keep the same schedule but turn one of them to 1000.

such quality content, hopefully you guys blow up soon

[@Bicicleteiros]

This channel is just perfect, thank you all for all the work. Can I suggest a topic for you guys? I'd love to see a video about the tennis at the Olympics. Maybe explaining the different qualification system, the points and the joy of seeing the top singles players competing for medals in doubles and mixed doubles. Tks

This was relevant recently

[@mauronicolas7892]

It didn't take more than a few seconds to mention that in South America we also have clay-court tournaments in February. They always underestimate us. And we have grand slam and Davis Cup winners here.

[@kotzkica]

I agree completely. They've completely missed couple of very important swings; the South American clay swing, post AO European indoors swing (Rotterdam, Montpeiller, Marseille, etc.), and post Wimbledon clay swing (Bastaad, Gstad, Hambourg, etc.)

[@toxihavoc]

well for sure they should mention it. But I do wanna add the fact that these tournaments other tna rio are minor 250 ones. hardly any top players play them. For example this year when alcaraz won in argentina he only beat 1 top 50 player which was norrie.

[@marestgondev]

@@toxihavoc the chilean atp is hard working to become an atp 500 and argentina to

[@laureanou.alvarez5375]

That is true but mostly because of the disprestige that is given to south American tennis, because the Buenos Aires Open is as a matter of fact the fifth oldest tournament still alive, being even older than the Australian Open, which is a GS. Most south American players prefer to play in their land with their fans and in their favourite surface, even if that brings along the cost of having problems to get acclimated to the hard courts of Indian Wells and Miami ​@@toxihavoc

Don't know why this channel is introduced to me just today, I am loving the contents! There are a lot of content creators about other sports but tennis seems to be lacking some and here you are along with Cult Tennis! I highly appreciate the work! Would definitely watch your videos from now on simply because I want more information about tennis and not just the game itself.

[@BaselineTennis]

Thank you! Please do share!

[@Walkman0007]

great information, thanks! in the meantime, Djokovic also did the RG-Wimbly double this year

[@bamb1s0la]

The content is so good. I was genuinely baffled not to see millions of views! weird. soon though. y'all are already on track.

This channel deserves more recognition! Thank you for the efforts in creating such a nice content! 💛

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Great video. Djokovic has joined the ranks of the men to win the Channel Slam. Also, Graf doing it _four_ (!) times is ridiculous.

After watching the first part of the Break Point series on Netflix, I watch F1 and those guys have it tough but I never thought tennis was this intense with how long the season is for the top players huge props to them 👏👏

Amazing content

[@Creees]

The old Davis Cup system was so much better. Pure tennis. Quite often in grand slams players are tired by the time they make a quarter final whereas top seeds have an easier path due to seeding system and the match can be won before they walk out on court. Davis cup you can prepare physicwlly and tactically the whole week for one match and quite often we saw amazing enxojnters whereas slams have become very obvious the last decade

[@xxkpjxx]

This video is the best one yet when it comes to explaining the Tennis schedule! However I have still one question: what happens if a top tier player misses a certain event (like an Atp 1000) due to a temporary injury? If they can’t reach the number of mandatory appearances that way will they still get fined? Also: Don’t they have to compete in 2 ATP 250s? Or have I got that wrong?

[@darwins-e1h]

4:34 UPDATE Alcaraz also won French Open + Wimbledon in 2024

[@DabDabGoose]

It makes sense why Krygios doesn't do a full calendar it's very brutal how much time the season takes from the year, but also the masters that are mandatory if your a top 30 ranked player, he can easily be that but I do think it might be part of his plan to not be in the top 30 to avoid the mandatory ATP 1000s especially the clay ones atleast.

[@apavlo123]

Since this video was released Djokovic became the fifth man who's achieved the "Channel Slam"!

[@anujpramanik1819]

I think the top 30 players among men need to compete in 8 out of 9 masters, all 4 grandslams, 4 ATP 500 events (one of which should happen after the US Open and for the purposes of which points from Monte Carlo can also be counted) and 2 ATP 250 events.

[@lebbeus]

The location of Zhuhai on the map at 5:33 is incorrect, it’s in the same province as Guangzhou

[@DrDouble007]

I wish this type of video gets made for more sports

[@hamza-chaudhry]

4:35 Alcaraz now

[@connorblasing3969]

I think two more grand slams need to be added. in SA and Asia. It would incentize more player to go to smaller tournaments in that area.

[@fjharriscob5912]

What about a tournament in Sub-saharan Africa...

[@Smoothie782]

Djokovic can be added to that list of winning the French and Wimbledon in the same year now. Great video!

[@kushagrakolte3098]

yeah in the year 2021

[@Smoothie782]

Uh-huh

[@wtfa2910]

So what is the point of playing after the US Open if you're not going to make it to the year end championship I would rather take a holiday and get ready for the Australian Open perhaps they should change the format for the finals to an elimination like the Grand Slams at least more than 8 people have a chance to win that championship

[@BaselineTennis]

There are player commitments that players have to fulfill or risk being sanctioned/fined. For example one mandatory 500-event has to be played after the US Open.

[@aleksanderkudla5647]

[@dushandvr5765]

@Tennis Underground And to try winning a title because why not.

[@Creees]

Sunshine double is so random and really annoying as they stretch it out over 2 weeks when it should be one week. If thats too taxing on the players just have a 250 tournament in between. They are nice tournaments but why arent they done before the US OPEN. Cincinatti and the Canadian Open are decent tournaments but i feel tournaments such as Queens club and Hamburg deserve 1000 status. St Petersburg has a nice feel to it and could be an atp 1000

[@oliversharpe2689]

I agree with the part about the sunshine double. It's kind of like 'Alright everyone, lets head to the US for a month even though we go back later in the year'. I think in place of the sunshine double they should have mini seasons leading into a Dubai Masters, Rio Masters and Indian Wells Masters(Mexico). Anyway that's just my opinion. I think there's too much of a focus on Europe and North America in the tennis calendar.

[@f14tomcat37]

No mention of the Laver Cup at the end of September. It doesn’t give points - but so does not the Davis Cup, which is mentioned.

[@ciaochao1500]

Hi Baseline Tennis, Isn’t there an European clay court season in July? Båstad, Hamburg, Gstaad, Kitzbühel, Umag…

[@BaselineTennis]

Yes there is, just after Wimbledon. We didn't mention it as the majority of the tour head over to the hard courts of North America. Just like how there are South American clay tournaments in February.

[@pablod_7]

Love this channel! It's perfect :) Could you please do a video on how players like Wawrinka and Thiem continually trouble Djokovic?

[@luc7054]

I'm confused, how are the masters titles mandatory when someone like federer has chosen to miss all of them so far this year, and nole & rafa choosing to miss the Miami masters?

[@BaselineTennis]

The last 12-18 months has been impacted by the Covid situation, so players were able to compete if they chose to or, in some cases, if they were able to. This was reflected in the change to the ranking points system. Prior to this, mandated players skipping Masters tournaments (with the exception of Monte Carlo) would be fined.

[@luc7054]

@@BaselineTennis ah I see, so the fact that it was the first masters in x amount of years without the big 3 isn't a huge surprise considering up until this point they've all been mandatory if you're healthy and within the top 30?

[@varchasvasingh5941]

Video creators really thought this was enough explanation 😂

[@AT-st5dr]

The Australian Open is hot but definitely not humid. It is played in Melbourne which is down south of Australia. It can get hot in summer and cold in winter but never humid. So get your facts correct.

[@LamTran-sw6yz]

Hi to you What happened to the Olympic year, format in the tennis thing. Every 4 years, the Olympic year, do the Olympic year, count in the rank to.

[@BaselineTennis]

Currently Olympics don't allocate ranking points. Normally they fit in between Wimbledon and the start of the American Hard Court Summer (late July).

The Laver Cup takes place after the US Open in September. It rotates venues, last year it was in London and in 2023, Vancouver.
