Brief history of the ATP |
Contrary
to popular belief the formation of the
Association of tennis professionals (ATP) in
1972 did not start the open era, which had begun
four years earlier in 1968.
The association which
is now known as the ATP Tour controls and
provides support for all male touring
professionals.
The association broke
away from the International Tennis Federation (ITF)
and the Men's International Professional Tennis
Council (MIPTC) in 1989 and took control of all
male events except the four majors (Australia,
French, Wimbledon, US Open)
|
| Why
are they a tennis power |
They are similar to the NFL, NBA, or FIFA, if you are
a male tennis player and you want to earn money playing tennis as a
professional, you have to belong and join the ATP tour.
The presentation of the tournaments and world image of
the game (male) is controlled by ATP
