About the Challenger Tour
Formerly known as the ATP Challenger Series, the Challenger Tour was founded in 1978 to allow those players not ranked highly enough for entry to the main ATP Tour tournament going on at that time somewhere to compete against high-class opposition.
The Challenger Tour is the second-highest men’s tennis tour behind the ATP Tour proper. It currently comprises 42 tournaments with prize money ranging from $35,000 up to $162,480.
Challenger Tour events are usually played by up-and-coming young players, ATP pros who narrowly miss out on qualifying for the top-level events and those returning from injury or other lengthy breaks from the game which have taken a toll on their rankings.
