The ATP World Tour Masters 1000 is a series of nine tennis tournaments that are part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) tour, held annually throughout the year in Europe, North America and Asia. The series constitutes the most prestigious tournaments in men's tennis after the four Grand Slam events and the ATP World Tour Finals.
Results in ATP Masters 1000 events earn players more world ranking points than regular tournaments, though not as many as Grand Slam events or the year-end ATP World Tour Finals. Up until 2007, most Masters Series finals were contested as best of five set matches. Currently, all Masters Series events are decided in best of three set matches.
Rafael Nadal holds the record for the most singles titles with 27 since the Masters series began in 1990, The Bryan Brothers have won a record 28 doubles titles, all as a team. No man has ever won all 9 singles titles in their career, with Novak Djokovic the record holder with 8 of the 9 titles. However in doubles, Daniel Nestor and the Bryan Brothers have each won all 9 titles throughout their careers. Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal hold the record for 5 titles in a year.
