TheAssociation of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour is the elite professionaltennis circuit organised by the ATP. The1999 ATP Tour calendar comprises theGrand Slam tournaments, supervised by theInternational Tennis Federation (ITF), theATP Super 9, theATP Championship Series, theATP World Series, theATP World Team Cup, theATP Tour World Championships and theGrand Slam Cup (organised by the ITF). Also included in the 1999 calendar are theDavis Cup and theHopman Cup, which do not distribute ranking points, and are both organised by the ITF.
In April 1999 ATP signed a $1.2 billion 10-year-deal with the sports marketing agencyISL Worldwide to promote the sport. The deal gave ISL the commercial rights for the Super-9 tournaments as well as the ATP World Championship. The ATP also introduced a simplified ranking system and made participation in the Super-9 events mandatory for top players.[1]
This is the complete schedule of events on the 1999 calendar, with player progression documented from the quarterfinals stage.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
