In singles, Novak Djokovic holds the record for the most titles with 36 since the Masters Series began in 1990.[1] By completing the set of all nine Masters singles titles by 2018, Djokovic became the first and only player to achieve the Career Golden Masters.[2] Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray have each won seven different titles. In 2020, Djokovic completed his Career Double Golden Masters.
In doubles, the Bryan brothers (Bob and Mike) have won a record 39 doubles titles, all as a team. Daniel Nestor and the Bryan brothers have each won all nine titles throughout their careers.
History
The series was introduced in 1990 with the inception of the ATP Tour by bringing together the nine most prestigious tournaments of the preceding Grand Prix tennis circuit. Results in ATP Masters events earn players more ranking points than regular tournaments but less than Grand Slam events or the year-end ATP Finals. Up until 2007, most Masters Series finals were contested as best of five set matches, but from 2008 all Masters Series events were decided in best of three set matches.
As part of a shake-up of the tennis circuit in 2009, the Masters Series became the ATP Tour Masters 1000, with the addition of the number 1000 referring to the number of ranking points earned by the winner of each tournament. Contrary to earlier plans, the number of tournaments was not reduced from nine to eight and the Monte-Carlo Masters remained part of the series although, unlike the other events, it does not have a mandatory player commitment. The Hamburg Masters event was downgraded to an ATP Tour 500 event. The Madrid Masters moved to May and onto clay courts. A new tournament in Shanghai replaced the Hamburg Masters and took over Madrid's former October indoor slot. In 2011, six of the nine Masters level tournaments were combined ATP and WTA events.

Currently, the following nine tournaments are part of the ATP Masters 1000: Canadian Open (alternating yearly between Montreal and Toronto), Italian Open (held in Rome), Indian Wells Masters, Miami Open, Monte-Carlo Masters, Madrid Open, Cincinnati Masters, Shanghai Masters and Paris Masters.[5] Since 2009, five of the tournaments are held on outdoor hard courts, three on clay and one on indoor hard court whereas from 1987 until 2008 there were two indoor tournaments at the top-9 level.
In 2009, the Shanghai Masters replaced the Madrid Open, until then held as an indoor event, in the eighth slot of the year with the Madrid Open switched to clay courts replacing the Hamburg Open in the spring clay court season. The Shanghai Masters was designated as an outdoor event despite the facility having a retractable roof and having been used as the indoor venue for the ATP Finals from 2005 until 2008.
- The men's Canadian Open (aka Rogers Cup) is held in Montreal in odd-numbered years and Toronto in even-numbered years, alternating with the women's Canadian Open.
