However, the best athletes in particular often play lucrative exhibition matches outside the ATP calendar, which do not bring any points for the world rankings.

For the ATP ranking, the 30 best athletes are obliged to play the four Grand Slams, nine Masters events, the ATP Finals if they qualify and now four 500 tournaments if they are not injured.

Alcaraz played a total of 80 tour matches in 2025, of which he won 71. Zverev even played two more games and suffered 25 defeats.
