Satellite Tournament




In professional tennis, satellite tournaments are typically organised by a country's national tennis association and overseen by the International Tennis Federation . They are played by players who are ranked outside the top few hundred by the Association Of Tennis Professionals with a high enough national ranking. Prize money ranges from £1000 - £15000 for winning the tournament. Players successful at this level of pro tennis move on to play ATP Challenger Series or even top-flight ATP Tour events.
