Jimmy Connors finished the year as ATP world No. 1 for the fourth time in his career. Connors won three titles during the season, including the Masters Grand Prix, and was runner-up at two majors at the Wimbledon Championships and the US Open.

Guillermo Vilas was the 1977 Grand Prix No. 1. Vilas won 16 tournaments during the season, including two majors at the French Open and the US Open.

Björn Borg was named the ATP Player of the Year. Borg won nine tournaments during the season, including a major at the Wimbledon Championships.

The 1977 Colgate-Palmolive Grand Prix was a professional tennis circuit administered by the International Lawn Tennis Federation (ILTF, later the ITF) which served as a forerunner to the current Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour.[2] The circuit consisted of the four modern Grand Slam tournaments and open tournaments recognised by the ILTF. The Colgate-Palmolive Masters is included in this calendar but did not count towards the Grand Prix ranking. Colgate-Palmolive was the new tour sponsor, taking over from Commercial Union. Guillermo Vilas won the Grand Prix circuit, having accumulated the most points (2,047), and received the largest share from the bonus pool ($300,000). The top eight points ranked singles players as well as the top four doubles teams qualified for the season-ending Masters tournament[3]

## Points system

[edit]

The Grand Prix tournaments were divided into seven groups. Group TC consisted of the Grand Slam tournaments; the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon Championships and the US Open--while the other tournaments were given star ratings ranging from six stars to one star, based on prize money and draw size. Points were allocated based on these ratings and the finishing position of a player in a tournament. No points were awarded to first-round losers, and ties were settled by the number of tournaments played.[3] The points allocation, with doubles points listed in brackets, is as follows:

Group TC

* Champion: 250 (50)
* Runner-up: 175 (35)
* Semifinalist: 100 (20)
* Quarterfinalist: 50 (10)
* Fourth round: 25 (5)
* Third round: 12 (2)
* Second round: 6

Six-star

* Champion: 175 (35)
* Runner-up: 122 (24)
* Semifinalist: 70 (14)
* Quarterfinalist: 35 (7)
* 9th – 16th: 17 (3)
* 17th – 32nd: 8

Five-star

* Champion: 150 (30)
* Runner-up: 105 (21)
* Semifinalist: 60 (12)
* Quarterfinalist: 30 (6)
* 9th – 16th: 15 (3)
* 17th – 32nd: 7

Four-star

* Champion: 125 (25)
* Runner-up: 87 (17)
* Semifinalist: 50 (10)
* Quarterfinalist: 25 (5)
* 9th – 16th: 12 (2)
* 17th – 32nd: 6

Three-star

* Champion: 100 (20)
* Runner-up: 70 (14)
* Semifinalist: 40 (8)
* 5th – 8th: 20 (4)
* 9th – 16th: 10 (2)
* 17th – 32nd: 5

Two-star

* Champion: 75 (15)
* Runner-up: 52 (10)
* Semifinalist: 30 (5)
* 5th – 8th: 15 (3)
* 9th – 16th: 7

One-star

* Champion: 50 (10)
* Runner-up: 35 (7)
* Semifinalist: 20 (4)
* 5th – 8th: 10 (2)
* 9th – 16th: 5

## Standings

[edit]

The 1977 Grand Prix tournaments were divided in seven separate point categories, ranging from the Triple Crown tournaments (250 points for the winner) to the smallest One Star tournaments (50 points for the winner). At the end of the year the 35 top-ranked players received a bonus from the bonus pool. To qualify for a bonus a player must have played at least 15 tournaments. The top eight points ranked singles players and top four doubles teams were entitled to participate in the season-ending Masters tournament.[3]
