Men's tennis circuit
The 2002 ATP Tour was the global elite men's professional tennis circuit organised by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for the 2002 tennis season. The ATP Tour is the elite tour for professional tennis organised by the ATP . The ATP Tour includes the four Grand Slam tournaments, the Tennis Masters Cup , the ATP Masters Series , the International Series Gold and the International Series tournaments.
The 2002 ATP Tour season saw Pete Sampras win his 14th Grand Slam singles title, breaking his own record of 13 in the process, by defeating longtime rival Andre Agassi 6–3, 6–4, 5–7, 6–4 in the final of the US Open .[ 1] This would be Sampras’s last tournament before retirement with him officially announcing his retirement at the next year's US Open .[ 2] Sampras finished up with a 20–14 lead over Agassi in head to head, ending a rivalry that defined the 1990’s and early 2000’s in tennis.
Young Australian Lleyton Hewitt ended the year No. 1 for the second season in a row, having captured his second Grand Slam title at Wimbledon by defeating David Nalbandian in a crushing straight set victory.[ 3] Hewitt captured 5 titles in 2002 overall, including winning the title at the Indian Wells Masters and then successfully defending the title at the Tennis Masters Cup by defeating Juan Carlos Ferrero 7–5, 7–5, 2–6, 2–6, 6–4 in the final.
Despite not winning a Grand Slam in 2002, Andre Agassi would win multiple ATP Masters Series events by capturing the title in Miami , Rome and at the first edition of the Madrid Masters . He won 5 titles overall throughout 2002 and ended the year ranked world No. 2. Swede Thomas Johansson won his maiden and only Grand Slam title by defeating Marat Safin in the final of the Australian Open from a set down 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 7–6(7–4) . The tournament had been rife with upsets that saw no top 6 seed reach the quarterfinals and saw both top 2 seeds Lleyton Hewitt and Gustavo Kuerten lose in their first round matches. Albert Costa also became a maiden Grand Slam champion after he defeated fellow Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero 6–1, 6–0, 4–6, 6–3 in the final of the French Open . Like Johansson, he would also never win another Grand Slam title after this.
2002 saw the emergence of future 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer as a top 10 player. The young Swiss won his first Masters Series title in Hamburg by defeating Marat Safin in the final in straight sets.[ 4] Federer would go on to end the year as world no. 6. Safin would also have a strong season, bouncing back inside the top 3 after dropping out of the top 10 of the ATP rankings in 2001 . Having reached the Australian Open final, Safin would reach the semifinals of the French Open and win the Paris Masters . Youngster Juan Carlos Ferrero also solidified himself as a top player, ending the year inside the top 5 for the second season in a row. Jiří Novák , Tim Henman , Albert Costa and Andy Roddick rounded out the year-end top 10.
Russia won the 2002 Davis Cup title after beating France 3–2. Mikhail Youzhny defeated Paul-Henri Mathieu from 2 sets down in the final rubber to give Russia their first Davis Cup title.
