Explanatory notes
- This TBS model will be implemented from week one of 2015 (week commencing January 5 2015).
- The TBS for 2015 has introduced new age group caps. These are designed to reflect targeted events for players of specific ages. From the age of 25, it is expected that players who are on track to be successful ATP/WTA Tour players will be self-sufficient.
- Bonuses start from the quarter-finals and all bonus amounts for winning events have increased from previous years.
- There are no bonuses available for ATP/WTA Tour events or in Grand Slams. These events already offer significant prize money.
- There are no bonuses for winning matches in qualifying. This scheme only applies to main draw successes.
- This is a singles only scheme and therefore does not apply to doubles.
