Nearly every professional male player has spent some time on the ITF Men's World Tennis Tour.
Originally, the ITF Men's Circuit consisted of satellite tournaments, each of which took place over four weeks.
Futures tournaments allow for players to win career titles and improve their rankings.
Futures usually have sizable qualifying draws, which allow unranked players to enter tournaments and earn ATP ranking points.
The launch of the tour is the culmination of a series of ITF reforms designed to support talented junior players in their progression to the senior game, and target the prize money effectively at professional tournaments to enable more players to make a living.
