The season-ending Commercial Union Assurance Masters and Davis Cup Final are included in this calendar but did not count towards the Grand Prix ranking.

Group TC consisted of the Triple Crown events—the French Open, the Wimbledon Championships, and the US Open—while the other tournaments were divided into four other groups—AA, A, B, and C—by prize money and draw size.

Points were allocated based on these groups and the finishing position of a player in a tournament.

No points were awarded to first-round losers, and ties were settled by the number of tournaments played.

Grand Prix points were also allocated to doubles results for the first time this year and are listed in brackets in the points allocation below: In addition a player could earn ranking points for participating in the Davis Cup team competition if the matches coincided with a Grand Prix tournament.
