medal at the Olympic Games in London. They have won 82 career doubles titles, the most in the Open Era. At the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, Djokovic defeated Federer in the final to become the first No. 1 to win the year-end title since Federer in 07. Spaniards Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez took home the doubles title, becoming the first Spanish duo to win the season finale since 1975. The 2012 season saw the retirement of former No. 1 players Andy Roddick and Juan Carlos Ferrero, both deciding the time was right to put an end to their illustrious careers. In addition, former Top 10 players Ivan Ljubicic, Fernando Gonzalez, Rainer Schuettler and Arnaud Clement chose 2012 as the year to hang up their racquets. At the beginning of the year Australian Brad Drewett began his tenure as ATP Executive Chairman and President. Key partners like Ricoh and HEAD signed new multi-year sponsorship extensions with the ATP, with Barclays also extending its title sponsorship of the ATPs season-ending event, which will now remain at The O2 in London through 2015 following a two-year extension announced in November. On-site attendance at ATP World Tour events matched record numbers with close to 4.4 million spectators. The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, in its fourth year at The O2, welcomed its 1 millionth fan and set a new record attendance of 263,229. Audiences on television and online continued to grow, with total broadcast hours of ATP events growing 30% and more than 4 million fans a month visiting ATPWorldTour.com, as well as more than 40 million people following the ATP, its players and tournaments through social media. Prize money on the ATP World Tour is set to increase 20% from 2012-2014, exceeding USD $95 million for the 1st time by 2014, whilst prize money at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals continues to increase significantly with the 2012 purse up 10% to USD $5.5 million and increasing to $6.5 million by 2014. At Grand Slam level, ongoing discussions initiated by the ATP with each of the Slams brought about prize money increases for players in 2012 and, in particular, significant increases for the 2013 Australian Open. As eyes now turn towards the 2013 season, there will be no shortage of drama as the current golden generation of players continues to captivate fans worldwide as they battle for the biggest titles on a thriving global platform of tournaments that the ATP World Tour offers. Much interest will surround the burgeoning rivalry between Djokovic and Murray, but few will count out the ever-present Federer, nor a fully fit Nadal, whilst the likes of Ferrer, Tomas Berdych and Juan Martin del Potro will continue to strive to break into the Big 4. A season of the highest calibre awaits as players chase the ultimate accolade of finishing the season as the 2013 ATP World Tour No.1. n

1986: In an effort to make the calendar more coherent, the MIPTC moves the Australian Open a month back to January (87) and the Masters a month earlier to December (86). 1988: The players, under ATP CEO Hamilton Jordan, hold a press conference in the US Open parking lot to announce that they will assume more control of the game. Tennis at the Crossroads outlines a plan for players to form a new tour in which they would play a major role and bear greater responsibility for the future of the sport. The idea is quickly embraced by the membership. Eighty-five of the Top 100 ranked players sign a letter of support for a new tour within weeks of the news conference. Tournament directors representing many of the worlds leading events voice their support for the players and join them in what was to become a partnership unique in professional sports players and tournaments each with an equal voice in how the circuit is run. 1989: All Top 50 players contractually agree to play the new ATP Tour in 1990. A new calendar is structured allowing for an eight-week off-season and tournaments are realigned. 1990: Sponsored by IBM, the ATP Tour era begins with an equal partnership between players and tournaments. The circuit features 76 tournaments in 28 countries on six continents, with prize money averaging a 50% increase at the events. Indianapolis tournament director Mark Miles is named ATP CEO. 1991: The first television package for mens tennis broadcasts 19 tournaments to a worldwide audience. 1993: The ATP Tour extends its global reach, adding Arabian Gulf tournaments in Doha and Dubai. Prize money continues to rise, increasing by 23%. 1995: The ATP Tour launches its first ATP Web site, ATP Online, and further broadens its reach by enlisting the song Bring It On from pop star Seal, which he sings at the ATP Tour Awards Gala and Night of the Stars at the ATP World Championships in Hannover. 1996: The Mercedes-Benz/ATP partnership begins with a four-year agreement. As the Official Car of the ATP, Mercedes-Benz provides official transportation at ATP tournaments, showcases prominent car displays at tournament sites and positions its Mercedes-Benz star signage on nets. 1997: The ATP Senior Tour of Champions is sanctioned.
Following is a look back at ATP highlights over the past four decades: 1973: The ATP establishes the computer ranking system, providing a fair analysis of a players performance and creating an objective way to determine entries into tournaments. The ATP Rankings are introduced on August 23 with Ilie Nastase debuting at No. 1. Other actions include placing tournament representatives on the road and standardizing prize money distribution and the conduct and discipline code. The ATP shows its strength and sends message of player unity after players boycott Wimbledon to defend Niki Pilics position against a Yugoslavian Federation suspension for missing a Davis Cup match. 1974: The Mens International Professional Tennis Council (MIPTC), made up of ATP, ILTF and tournament directors, is formed to govern the sport as an independent, democratic, international body for the administration of professional tennis. 1976: The ATP Doubles computer rankings begin on March 1. 1978: The Nations Cup, featuring eight competing nations, becomes the World Team Cup in Dsseldorf the first ATP Championship. 1979: Full-time MIPTC supervisors are employed on the mens tour, and Penn becomes the official ball of the ATP. In a groundbreaking move, four young Chinese players compete in U.S. tournaments for the first time in over 21 years after being sponsored by the ATP. 1980: The ATP sets up a player pension fund. 1983: ATP membership approaches 500. 1985: At the request of the ATP, MIPTC passes a Drug Testing Rule, making tennis the first professional sport to institute a workable and well-designed drug testing program.

the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. As well as managing the event when held in Sydney and Houston, Drewett has been responsible for a number of significant ATP commercial agreements including the negotiation of a multi-year deal with the Shanghai Municipal Government to stage the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai from 2005 to 2008. In addition to his work with the ATP, Drewett has developed and managed a number of successful businesses in the sport and fitness industry. Drewett has also worked as a commentator for Channel 9 and Channel 10 in Australia. A former top 40 singles and top 20 doubles player, he is based in Monte-Carlo.

From 1877 to 1921 the mens singles was decided on a challenge round system, the previous years winner standing out until a winner of the so-called All Comers event qualified to challenge. The same system applied in the mens doubles from 1886 to 1921. It never applied in the womens or mixed doubles. In those years, the presence of the previous years winner in the last match means that the title was decided in a challenge round. The Championships were staged at the All England Club, Worple Road, Wimbledon, from 1877 until 1921 when the club moved to Church Road, Wimbledon.

In 1924, after the completion of the West Side Tennis Club Stadium, the championship returned to Forest Hills and was held there through 1977 when it moved to the USTAs new tennis complex at Flushing Meadows, N.Y. National Championships of the United States Tennis Association were provided for when that body was organised, May 21, 1881. The first championship of the United States under uniform conditions, open to all comers and sanctioned by the National Association, was held at The Casino, Newport, R.I., in August 1881, and for 34 years thereafter without interruption. Before 1890, the national doubles championship was played in conjunction with the singles tournament. From 1890 to 1906 tournaments were held in the East and West, and the sectional winners at these meets then played off for the privilege of meeting the standing-out champions in the challenge round. The 1918 championship was a playing-through tournament, the sectional and preliminary doubles and the challenge round having been done away with. In 1919 the plan of the qualifying sectional winners was restored, although an exception was made in the case of the Australian teams on a visit to the United States at that time, and the last challege round in national doubles was played that year. Since 1920 there have been few changes.
