List of ATP number 1 ranked doubles tennis players

In doubles, the top-ranked team is the pair who, over the previous 52 weeks, has gathered the most ATP rankings points.

For entry purposes there are no mandatory events, however, once a player is accepted in the main draw of one of these 12 tournaments, as a direct acceptance, a qualifier or a lucky loser or having accepted a wildcard, his result in this tournament shall count for his ranking, whether or not he participates.
