removed singles content for Grand Slams, Rankings, Win streaks, Semifinals, Top 10 wins, and Per Court Type (for now focus on what makes this new article distinct from the men's Open Era singles records page; plus much of this deleted stuff is probably unnecessary to have here as a mere subset of the OE and thus only merits inclusion on the OE page)
optimized section headers similar to the OE page
merged and deleted some of the active-only lists (no need for these after they're merged)
DONE: now polished enough to go live. -Testpored (talk) 23:06, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
The ATP World Tour is the top-level men's professional tennis circuit, administered by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). The tour began in 1990, so all of the records listed here start at that time and are based on official ATP data.[1] Note that Grand Slam, Olympic, and Davis Cup results are all included, as they factor into the ATP Rankings used by the tour to determine player eligibility and seedings.
The names of active players appear in boldface for their career totals and currently active streaks.
After the Grand Slams and the year-end tournament, the ATP Masters series are nine annual tournaments that hold most importance. They are currently called the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 because the winner earns 1000 rankings points.
This is the class of tournaments in which the winner earns 500 rankings points. This format began in 2009, so these records include the equivalent former classes called the ATP Championship Series (1990–99) and ATP International Series Gold (2000–08).
This is the class of tournaments in which the winner earns 250 rankings points. This format began in 2009, so these records include the equivalent former classes called the ATP World Series (1990–99) and ATP International Series (2000–08).
