What is Tennis Masters?
“Tennis Masters” is not one thing. The phrase covers a free browser game, a professional tour, a seniors circuit, a retired year-end Cup, and a handful of local names. Pick the row that matches what you typed.
| Name | What it is | Where to read |
|---|---|---|
| Browser game | Free 2D match, local two-player | Play |
| ATP Masters 1000 | Nine pro events, 1000 points | Tour |
| Tennis Masters Cup | Year-end event, 2000–2008 | Cup |
| World Tennis Masters Tour | Ages 30–90 | Seniors |
| Tennis Master (DS/Wii) | Retail DS/Wii records with conflicting title/date credits | DS |
| Series 2003 | Microïds game, 2002–2003 | 2003 |
| Macau | 2025 team exhibition | this page |
| Luxembourg | Eight-woman invitational | Ladies |
| McAllen | A pro shop in Texas | McAllen |
| Junior events | U12–U18 invitation weeks | Juniors |
Search pages often mix the first three. The browser game is a 2D match by MadPuffers, free in the browser since December 2020. The ATP Masters 1000 is nine professional tournaments worth 1,000 points. The World Tennis Masters Tour is age-group tennis from 30 to 90. I do not pick a winner among those three. The rest of this list is here so a local name does not get swallowed by the tour.
“Masters” on the main tour means the Masters 1000, not the ATP Finals. The Finals used the Tennis Masters Cup name only from 2000 to 2008. A reversed phrase, “Masters Tennis”, is also a USTA short-court format: a 60-foot court, a slower orange ball, an optional shorter racquet, and scoring that runs 1-2-3-4, first to four points and first to six games. That format note is one USTA Florida write-up.
Macau is easy to misfile as a knockout. The 2025 MGM Macau Tennis Masters was a team exhibition at the Macao Forum, Team Li Na against Team Conchita Martinez, with a published player list that included Eala, Andreeva, Draper and others. One Philstar report. It is not an ATP event. I do not give it a longer page.
