History

Historical Context

The Association of Tennis Professionals, created in September 1972 by Donald Dell, Jack Kramer and Cliff Drysdale, launched its first computer rankings in 1973 and reorganized the tour in 1990. In 2009 the ATP renamed its lowest tier the ATP 250, awarding 250 points to winners. Geneva’s ATP 250 final therefore follows the same point-based hierarchy.
