Points systemThe tournaments listed above were divided into twelve point categories. The highest points were allocated to the Grand Slam tournaments; French Open, the Wimbledon Championships, the US Open and the Australian Open. Points were allocated based on these categories and the finishing position of a player in a tournament. The points table is based on a 32 player draw. No points were awarded to first-round losers and advancements by default were equal to winning a round.[1] The points allocation, with doubles points listed in brackets, is as follows: | Grand Slam | $300,000+ | $275,000+ | $250,000+ | $225,000+ | $200,000+ | $175,000+ | $150,000+ | $125,000+ | $100,000+ | $75,000+ | $50,000+ | Winner | 350 (70) | 300 (60) | 275 (55) | 250 (50) | 225 (45) | 200 (40) | 175 (35) | 150 (30) | 125 (25) | 100 (20) | 75 (15) | 50 (10) | Runner-up | 245 (49) | 210 (42) | 192 (38) | 175 (35) | 157 (31) | 140 (28) | 122 (24) | 104 (20) | 87 (17) | 70 (14) | 52 (10) | 35 (7) | Semifinalist | 140 (28) | 120 (24) | 110 (22) | 100 (20) | 90 (18) | 80 (16) | 70 (14) | 60 (12) | 50 (10) | 40 (8) | 30 (6) | 20 (4) | Quarterfinalist | 70 (14) | 60 (12) | 55 (11) | 50 (10) | 45 (9) | 40 (8) | 35 (7) | 30 (6) | 25 (5) | 20 (4) | 15 (3) | 10 (2) | Fourth round | 35 (7) | 30 (6) | 27 (6) | 25 (5) | 22 (5) | 20 (4) | 17 (3) | 14 (3) | 12 (2) | 10 (2) | 7 (–) | 5 (–) | Third round | 17 (3) | 15 (–) | 13 (–) | 12 (–) | 11 (–) | 10 (–) | 9 (–) | 7 (–) | 6 (–) | 5 (–) | – (–) | – (–) | Second round | 9 (–) | – (–) | – (–) | 6 (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) | – (–) |
