ATP Tour
Tennis is different than many sports in that it is built around individuals, not teams. That fundamental difference shapes how the ATP Tour is governed, with players' voices at the centre of the table.
For example, the ATP Board of Directors, compiled of nine voting members, decides on key matters including rule changes, prize money increases and tournament schedules. The Board consists of four player representatives, four tournament representatives and a chairman.
The Board meets nearly every month, giving players consistent and direct influence on shaping decisions. In this system, players do not just compete — They help shape the game. That is how game-changing initiatives like profit sharing between players and tournaments has been introduced.
How are the seats on the Board filled? What is the voting breakdown?
