What is considered tennis's most illustrious championship?
Apart from the four Grand Slams, the most prestigious tennis tournaments are probably the Olympics and the Davis Cup. However, you're probably enquiring about the myriad of other lesser know tournaments that make up the "official" calendar, in which case the nine that comprise the ATP Masters Series and the final tournament of the season, the Tennis Masters Cup are generally considered the most important (though the Tennis Masters Cup is men only). The ATP Masters Series: These are nine tournaments that are mandatory for professionals who participate in the official circuit. As far as I'm aware, no one particular tournament is considered more prestigious than the rest. # India Wells Masters (California) # Miami Masters # Canada Masters (Montreal or Toronto) # Rome Masters # Paris Masters # Monte-Carlo Masters # Hamburg Masters # Cincinnati Masters # Madrid Masters These may all be known by the name of the current sponsor, EG Paris is the BNP Paribas Masters. The ATP Masters Cup: This is a round robin event at the end of the season between the top eight (male) world ranked players. From 2009 it will be held in London and renamed the ATP World Tour Finals. Below the ATP Masters Series, there are two other series of tournaments (not mandatory - the pro's can pick and choose): The ATP International Series Gold and the ATP International Series. So, ignoring the Olympics and the Davis Cup, there are fourteen major tournaments: the four slams, the nine masters and the end of season masters cup. Which is the most prestigious probably depends on your preferred surface!
