How do tennis rankings work?
The ATP awards points based upon a player’s performance in specific tournaments. The more a player progresses through an event, the more points they will receive. Grand slams are the highest scoring events, with 2000 points awarded to the winner of the event and 1200 to the runner up. The points from each tournament are valid for one year and the rankings are updated weekly.
