(Tour-level includes ATP and Grand Slam events) The most recent result will only be included in his rankings breakdown if it is better than the earlier result.

Results from all levels of professional tennis during this period (4 March - 5 August 2019), not played in 2020, will be extended a further 52 weeks but weighted at 50 percent. How will results from March 4-Augbe treated? Additionally, this provided stability to players who did not feel comfortable travelling and competing due to the pandemic. Why were the first changes made to the FedEx ATP Rankings?Īt the time of the changes, due to the uncertainty of the calendar through 2020 as a result of COVID-19, it was determined that points from the 16 March 2020 Rankings would stay frozen and stay on a player’s ranking through the extended ranking period. Results from events between 4 March – 5 August, 2019, that were not played in 2020, will be extended a further 52 weeks, but weighted at 50%.

In March, the ATP extended the ‘Best Of’ logic for the FedEx ATP Rankings through to the week of 9 August 2021 (inclusive of Toronto). In January, based on a revised calendar, the ATP Board approved a two-week extension of the ‘best of’ ranking system through the week of 15 March, 2021. All events continue to be non-mandatory through this period. In October 2020, due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, ATP announced that it would move to a Best of 24-month ranking, extending the current ranking approach through and including the week of 1 March 2021. (The FedEx ATP Rankings were frozen from 16 March 2020, just days after the Tour was suspended, until 24 August 2020.) The FedEx ATP Rankings were first adjusted in early summer from the traditional 12-month ranking to a Best of 22-month ranking with the goal of preserving the principles of merit and fairness despite the disruption caused by COVID-19.
