How many points are Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic defending in February?
After the Australian Open concluded last week, the ATP Tour will head to Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America in February for a range of events.
There will be ATP 500 tournaments held on indoor hard courts in Rotterdam and Dallas between February 3 and 9.
The week after (February 10-16) will feature ATP 250 events in Delray Beach (outdoor hard), Buenos Aires (clay) and Marseille (indoor hard). That will be followed by 500s in Doha (outdoor hard) and Rio de Janeiro (clay), which start on February 17.
On February 24, outdoor hard-court 500s in Dubai and Acapulco, and a clay-court 250 in Santiago, will get underway. These three tournaments will run into March.
The tournaments in Dallas and Doha have both been upgraded to 500 level after being 250 events in 2024, while the ATP 250 held in Cordoba was discontinued after last year’s edition. Another notable change is that the 250 in Los Cabos, which was held in February in 2024, has been moved to July on the 2025 calendar.
