The Open Era is the current era of professional tennis. It began in 1968 when the Grand Slam tournaments allowed professional players to compete with amateurs, ending the division that had persisted since the dawn of the sport in the 19th century. The first open tournament was the 1968 British Hard Court Championships held in April, followed by the inaugural open Grand Slam tournament, the 1968 French Open, a month later. Unless otherwise sourced, all records are based on data from the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the International Tennis Federation (ITF), and the official websites of the four Grand Slam tournaments. All rankings-related records are based on ATP rankings, which began in 1973. The names of active players appear in boldface. == Grand Slam tournaments == === Career totals === Updated as of 2026 Australian Open.

Those championships have been the most coveted titles after the four majors during the Open Era. (1970–present) This is a combination of the YECs (Year-end Championships) for two separate tours: the ITF Grand Prix that ran until 1989 and the ATP Tour that replaced it. For record-keeping purposes, the ATP has incorporated the entire history of the ITF "Masters Grand Prix" alongside its ATP Finals tournament; thus they are both listed as "ATP" here. In total, these YECs have been held at numerous venues around the globe and played on several surfaces (indoor hard since 2006). (1971–89) The WCT Finals, as the YEC for the World Championship Tennis tour, was held in Dallas, Texas and played on indoor carpet courts. (1990–99) The Grand Slam Cup (GSC) was an ITF tournament for the top performers in the year's Grand Slam tournaments. It was held in Munich, Germany and played on indoor carpet courts. === Overall totals === Ordered by most titles won at one year-end championship (correct as of 2024 ATP Finals). === ATP totals === === WCT totals === == ATP Masters 1000 tournaments == (1970–1989) Before the ATP took control of the men's professional tour in 1990, the Grand Prix Super Series was the highest class of events after the four majors and the Year-end Championships but unlike the Masters series, the participation of the top players was not mandatory. (1990–present) The ATP 1000 events are an annual series of nine top-level tournaments featuring the top professional men players. The ATP 1000 events along with the Grand Slam tournaments and Year-end Championships constitute the most coveted titles on the annual ATP Tour calendar. === ATP Tour totals === Correct as of 2025 Paris Masters === Career Golden Masters === == All tournaments == === Career totals === Match stats correct (as of 2026 Australian Open). ==== Titles & finals ==== ==== Matches ==== ==== vs. Top 10 ==== === Season totals === === Tournament totals === Grand Slam tournaments in bold. === Winning streaks === ▲ indicates an active streak Winning streaks per court type === Court type totals === Match stats correct (as of 2026 Australian Open). ==== Titles ==== ==== Match record ==== ===== Match wins ===== === Titles per season === ==== Per consecutive seasons ==== == Big Titles == (1990–present) The Grand Slam tournaments, the Masters events and the ATP Finals are the Big Titles of the annual ATP Tour calendar, in addition to the quadrennial Summer Olympics.
