The Masters Pro was a tournament open to men's tennis professionals. It was held between 1957 and 1959 and again between 1964 and 1965. The tournament was played in a round robin format instead of the usual knockout competition on each of the five occasions that it was played. At the 1964 and 1965 editions the round robin stage was followed by a semifinal and final round.[1]
