Houston is home to the ATP U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship, one of the most popular ATP Tour events on the American circuit. It was first held in Omaha, Nebraska in 1910 and has since been contested in various cities across the United States before settling in Houston in 2001. ATP Houston
ATP Rankings are based on the results of official ATP-certified men’s singles and doubles tournaments that have taken place in the past 52 weeks. During this period, players can participate in as many as 21 official ATP-certified tournaments. However, only their best 19 results obtained in the past 52 weeks will be counted in the ATP rankings.
The ATP Rankings also play a role in qualification for the Olympic Games. The Olympics used to offer ATP men’s and women’s singles ranking points from 2000 to 2012 but the system was discontinued after the 2016 Rio Games.
Players can also earn WTA ranking points at tournaments that are not certified by the ATP Tour. There are several WTA Premier 5 events that are not mandatory, including Cincinnati, Doha/Dubai, Rome, and Montreal/Toronto.
ATP & WTA Ranking Points
The top 30 ranked players in the ATP and WTA rankings can score up to 1500 points each. These points are derived from four Grand Slams, eight mandatory ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and seven 'Best Other' results from the ATP Cup, ATP Tour 500, 250, and ATP Challenger Tour or ITF WTT men’s events.

Instructor Quality
The instructors at ATP flight schools tend to be very low in quality. Most of them are early 20-somethings with little to no work experience, and they will focus on acquiring their CFI / CFII ratings as quickly as possible. This will often lead to them taking advantage of cheap or free flight instruction and spending less on their lessons than they could.
They will also want to work on their multi-engine rating, which is a huge concern for many smaller flight schools. They will often get their CFI / CFII ratings in as little as six months from the time they started at ATP.
In addition, ATP flight schools are more strict with their students than most mom-and-pop schools. They expect their students to make a certain amount of flights within a time frame, and will often put them under pressure to fly on weekends, or after school hours.
