From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
ATP Challenger Series is a series of professional
tennis tournaments held internationally that are part of the
ATP Tour. Challenger circuit tournaments offer players cash prizes (tournaments have purses from $25,000 to $150,000) and the ability to earn ATP ranking points. Composed of players who have had success at the
satellite and futures levels of the ATP tour, the Challenger series has many young and promising players working their way up to play in ATP tournaments. Depending on the prize money available, court surface and location of the event, players at Challenger tournaments are usually ranked anywhere from 80-300 in the ATP entry rankings.
