Grand Prix Super Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Prix Super Series[1] of men's tennis tournaments was part of the Grand Prix and World Championship Tennis tours between 1978 and 1989, sometimes also referred to as the Super Grand Prix.[2] They were held annually throughout the year in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. These tournaments were the most prestigious and highest level events of the Grand Prix Tour after the majors and year-end championships.[3][4] [5][6]
For the succeeding circuit, see ATP Tour Masters 1000.

When the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) became the sole governing body of men's tennis in 1990, all of the surviving tournaments of the Grand Prix were absorbed into the new ATP Tour.[7] The nine top events existing at that time are now known as ATP Tour Masters 1000 tournaments.
