Just show you the information of the three major tennis organizations and you will understand!

ATP-International Men's Tennis Association

Since the first "Tennis Open" in 1968, tennis has experienced a long development. ATP is also an integral part of this history.

Before p>1968, Grand Slam tournaments and other national tournaments were only open to amateur tennis players. Two years later, tennis tournaments around the world formed a unified organization called the Grand Prix. In 1972, a group of tennis pioneers, Qi Xin, co-founded the Professional Tennis Association.

In the history of ATP, another decisive measure was born. During the US Open, a group of top players in the competition field discussed the establishment of an association for players in a secluded patio. Under the leadership of Jack Kramer as the first managing director and chairman, ATP began to make efforts to organize better ball games.

The primary task of this organization is to establish a computer ranking system to analyze the performance of players and an objective method to determine whether players are qualified for the competition. ATP ranking began on August 23rd, 1973, and it is still the official ranking system of men's professional tennis today.

From 1974 to 1989, the men's world tour tennis tournament was managed by the International Men's Professional Tennis Council, which was composed of representatives from the International Tennis Federation composed of ATP and tournament directors from all over the world.

Although MTC has greatly improved and promoted the tournament, players began to realize that they need more voice on the court. They began to realize that it was time for them to take more initiative on the court.

During the US Open in p>1988, Hamilton Jordan (pictured), president of ATP, held a media meeting at the parking station and was greeted by many top players. This speech "Tennis-A Crossroad of Dilemma" summarizes the difficulties and opportunities faced by men's tennis. For ATP, the creation of a new tournament, the ATP World Tour, became one of the solutions to the problem.

The implementation of the new tournament was quickly responded positively by more than 85 players among the top 1 players in the world at that time, who jointly signed a letter supporting the new tournament system. In the autumn of 1988, 24 players, including eight of the top ten players in the world, signed a contract to participate in the ATP World Tour in 199. In the autumn of the same year, the tournament director issued a statement on behalf of many leading tournaments in the world, expressing his support for the players and joining them, and becoming a unique partnership in the field of professional sports, that is, players and tournaments should each have an equal say in the operation of the new tournament system. < P > The p>29 season marks the 2-year storm that ATP has been in charge of the world men's professional tennis tournament. Now let's review the shining pen in this course:

1973: ATP established a computer ranking system to analyze the players' performance on the field fairly and justly, and created an objective way to determine whether the players are eligible for the election. On August 23rd, ilie nastase won the first place in the world and the ATP ranking system was put into use for the first time. Other measures include the promotion of sports events by representatives of sports events, and the establishment of standardized bonus distribution, sports event management and discipline standards. After the players boycotted Wimbledon in order to give support to Nicky Pilic (Nicky Pilic was suspended by Yugoslavia for missing Davis Cup), ATP showed its ability to handle the incident.

In p>1974, the International Men's Professional Tennis Council, which was composed of ATP, lawn tennis association and tournament director * * *, was determined to develop tennis into an "independent, democratic and international institution established to manage professional competitions" .1.5

In p>1978, the Davis Cup was held in Dü sseldorf with eight teams competing, which was the first world team World Cup.

In p>1979, the full-time managers of the International Men's Professional Tennis Council were employed in the men's world tour, and Payne was the official match ball.

1988: During the US Open, players were in the ATP President Hamilton? At the inspiration of Jordan, a press conference was held in the parking lot to declare that players need to occupy more control in the game. At the conference of "Tennis at the Crossroads", a plan outline for establishing a new tournament system for players was put forward, in which players will play an important role and take more responsibilities in the development of the tournament. A week after the press conference, 85 top 1 players in the world signed a letter supporting the new competition system. The tournament director issued a statement on behalf of many leading tournaments in the world, expressing his support for the players and joining them, thus becoming a unique partnership in the field of professional sports. Both players and tournaments should have an equal say in the operation of the new tournament system. < P > 1989: All the top 5 players in the ATP world signed a contract and agreed to participate in the new ATP World Men's Professional Tennis Tour launched in 199. Considering the eight-week off-season, the tournament schedule will be rearranged.

199: ATP World Men's Professional Tennis Tour was sponsored by IBM, which opened a new era in which players and tournaments were sponsored by the same enterprise respectively.

In 21, ATPtennis.com, as a newly released website, planned the new competition system structure, regional planning of ATP events, commercial focus and brand-new market. Brand authorization and live TV broadcast opportunities are the key points.

At the fund-raising benefit, ATP established a global partnership named ACE with UNICEF to help children around the world. < P > In p>26, Devillier took the position of executive chairman and president of ATP. ATP has signed cooperation agreements with some major sponsors, including the opening of South African Airlines as the official airline of ATP. Based on the accumulated support of doubles stars and the exposure in the "ATP doubles reform" activities and event planning, Stanford Financial Group has become a partnership with ATP doubles officials. The Challenge was broadcast in Miami for the first time and successfully demonstrated in 13 tournaments.

27: In order to present a more passionate tournament experience to fans, media and players, ATP revised the tournament system, including removing the rule of best of five sets, reducing the number of seats in five ATP Masters series, thus ensuring the health of 56 players and increasing TV programs; The first week of ATP competition can start on Sunday. ATP increased the prize money for the first time since 2 and created a multi-million dollar marketing fund.

This is the first time in history that the top three players in the world have been elected to the association for two consecutive years.

The new points calculation system will be put into use in the ATP South Africa Aviation World Ranking, and different levels of events will be distinguished by the event names: ATP1 Masters, ATP World Tour 5 and ATP World Tour 25.

WTA (Women's Tennis Association in English). Founded in 1973, the players' headquarters is located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Its main office is currently in Connecticut, and there is also a small branch in Europe. The WTA Tour is headquartered in Stamford, southwest Connecticut, USA. Sports Science Department, Medical Department, Tour Operation Department and Players Relations Office are located in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA.

The Tour also has a European headquarters office in London. WTA is managed by a chairman and a board of directors. Most of them are active players, while others are business consultants. The Council provides advice to the women's tennis professional association, which is the core institution of the whole tennis. Like men's tennis, WTA's main responsibility is to take care of all players' problems. Players have their own agents in the Women's Tennis Association, and the Women's Professional Tennis Association decides all the rules of the whole tour and sponsors some exhibition matches, so that players can participate in some such matches without worrying about conflicts with real professional leagues.

Women's competition, like men's competition, has also gone through a road of competing for rights. Players want to get control of tennis, but they can't control the game-at least they can't control important games. After some negotiation, WTA accepted the directors' suggestion and let association of tennis professionals run the tour.

As players can get computer points only by winning more than $25, in some competitions, it is easier to join women's computer rankings than men's. Although players have to play at least 1 tournaments in a year to maintain their ranking advantage, it is relatively easy for them to participate in some small leagues.

The women's tennis tour has set up a school for young players, and its educational goal focuses on introducing the knowledge of the tour and the matters needing attention in participating in the competition. So I did it because some young players like Jaeger, capriati and Austin have encountered such problems. WTA believes that these young players are under too much pressure, and they want to let players and their parents know the potential dangers of professional tennis. Old players also think it is necessary to let young players know the history of tennis. Today's young players can earn thousands of dollars even if they lose in the first round, so the former stars want young people to know how they got where they are today. Jennifer capriati, she went through many difficult times, but now she is back in the competition, trying her best to make up for lost time.

It is important that two organizations are concerned about the situation of players, especially women's tennis. Players can have almost no world fame, and they can join the professional player rankings when they reach the age of 14. Many players are used and cheated. Take the case of Steve Graff, whose father squandered her bonus. Before these young players are confused by fame and money, ATP and WTA should teach them. Some important leagues have parents' seminars. If a family is made aware of the problems they will face, I think it is necessary to hold a seminar.

finally, the players' association forbids adding new leagues. Players can now have a comfortable rest without worrying about their computer rankings. Because both ATP and WTA prohibit excellent players from participating in the one-night game, tennis has developed healthily. Both tournaments have excellent players representing the highest level. All players should remember the pioneers of tennis who paved the way for them today. We want to let a 12-year-old juvenile master know Kramer, Rafer, Connors, Ash and Kim, casals, Navratilova and Evert in women's competitions, when they are
