ATP 2025 calendar: no major changes

On Friday, the ATP unveiled its provisional calendar for the 2025 season. The publication confirms the trend begun in 2023 - increasing importance given to the Masters 1000 and fewer tournaments overall - but without any major upheavals.

In 2026, however, the changes could be far more far-reaching, given the negotiations that have been taking place behind the scenes in recent weeks. There are two opposing projects. On the one hand, a premium circuit of 14 tournaments (4 Grand Slams, 10 Masters 1000) led by Craig Tailey, Director of the Australian Open and President of the Australian Tennis Federation. On the other, a more traditional project backed by the ATP and potentially financially supported by Saudi Arabia.

In the meantime, for the changes to come in 2025, we note that the Cincinnati and Toronto Masters 1000s will now be played over 12 days instead of one week, as is already the case for Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid, Rome and Shanghai. Doha, Dallas and Munich, currently ATP 250s, will become ATP 500s, while Lyon, Atlanta, Newport, Estoril and Cordoba are set to disappear from the calendar.
