Winning a Masters 1000 title means triumphing over the top players in the world.

Naturally, the best players in the sport have enjoyed great success at this level of competition.

The current Masters 1000 lineup consists of Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Rome, Toronto/Montreal, Cincinnati, Paris, Madrid, and Shanghai.
