## IX. FED EX ATP RANKINGS 

## 9.03 FedEx ATP Rankings 

## A. Commitment Players & B. Non-commitment Players 

1) Due to the suspension of the ATP Tour and impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the FedEx ATP Ranking from 16 March 2020 has been frozen except for players serving suspensions for Anti-Doping or Corruption offenses. 

Any player who is under suspension for Anti-Doping and or Corruption offenses is not eligible to have his ranking frozen for the duration period of the player’s suspension for Anti-Doping and/or Corruption reasons. 

2) For all other players the points from the player’s 16 March 2020 ranking break - down are frozen and will have their drop date extended by 52 weeks or until the event is played again the following year (whichever occurs first), including the points earned at the 2019 Nitto ATP Finals which will drop on the Monday follow - ing the last ATP Tour event of 2021. 

3) Until the week of 28 June 2021 there will be no ranking penalties issued to play - ers for ATP events. ATP Masters 1000 commitment will remain for Bonus Pool purposes. 

4) Results from events following the resumption of the ATP Tour in 2020, up until and including the tournament week of 9 August 2021 will be added into the ATP Rankings in the following manner: 

 a) ATP Tour/Grand Slam Level Events: 

2019 event will be replaced from a player’s breakdown if that player plays the same event in 2020 and earns a better result. 

● Results from all tournaments between 4 March – 5 August 2019, that were not played in 2020, will be extended a further 52-weeks and weighted at 50%. This reduction will occur at the originally designated drop date for 

## ATP ADDENDUM 

2020 event will be replaced from a player’s breakdown if that player plays the same event in 2021* and earns a better result. 

● Results from rescheduled 2020 tournaments (Kitzbuhel, Hamburg, Rome & Roland-Garros) will also be included for additional 52 weeks at 50% from their originally scheduled drop date and be compared against the 2021 event in a ‘Best Of’ logic. The 2019 result of these four events will drop from the rankings as per their currently scheduled 2020 drop date. 

(i)  A player’s result will only be replaced if the result is better. 

(ii) If a player earns fewer points or ties his previous year’s result, his previous year’s result will remain in his ranking. 

(iii) If a player did not play the previous year’s event, his result will count if better than the lowest “best other” . 

(iv) If a player earned a 0-point ranking penalty his result can/will replace the 0-pointer if better. 

(v) If a player earned a 0-point ranking penalty and does not play the following year’s event his previous year’s 0-point ranking penalty will remain in his ranking. 

(vi) A player cannot count the same ATP Tour/Grand Slam result twice in his breakdown. 

(vii) An ATP Tour/Grand Slam qualifying result can/will be replaced by the main draw of that tournament and vice versa. 

(viii)  New results from ATP Tour/Grand Slam events in 2021 that replace the 2019 or 2020 event will stay on until event is played again the following year or 52 weeks, whichever occurs first. 

## b) ATP Challenger/ITF WTT Level Events: 

Players who compete in ATP Challengers/ITF WTT events post the ATP Tour suspension will use the new, 2020/2021* result to replace their worst ‘best other’ result if the 2020/21* result is better. 

Results from all tournaments between 4 March – 5 August 2019, that were 

each event and the ‘Best Of’ logic will only count the better of a player’s two scores from the same Tour-level event. 

2019 tournament results reduced to 50% will lose their mandatory status in player’s ranking breakdowns and begin to be considered as ‘Best Other’. For example, a player will be able to count either 50% of his 2019 Madrid result, or 100% of his 2021 Madrid result, whichever is greater, for the next 52 weeks. 

aa) If the result is better, it will be considered a ‘best other’ for ranking purposes**. 

bb)  If the player does not play the 2020/21* Main Draw because he did not have a high enough ranking to be an original main draw direct acceptance and never moved into the main draw, his previous year’s result will be considered a ‘best other’. 

aa) Example: cannot count ’19 and ’20 or ‘20 and ‘21* result from the same tournament, will use the better of the two results. 

** ATP Masters 1000 and 500 events TBC after 28 June 2021. Grand Slam events TBC.
