LONDON (AP) — The ATP men's tennis tour introduced a new financial program in 2024 called Baseline, which aimed to provide minimum annual incomes for players ranked in the top 250. A total of 26 players benefited from this initiative, receiving a combined payout of $1.3 million.
Players were allocated funds in three distinct categories, with 17 individuals receiving payments as part of minimum guarantees. These guarantees ensure that players earn a specified amount if they do not reach certain thresholds in singles prize money. Additionally, three players received financial support through injury protection, which assists those whose tournament participation is limited due to health issues. Furthermore, seven players were granted funds under the newcomer investment category, which offers support to new members of the top 125.
