Frequently asked questions

No, your end-of-year prize money total is accumulated using your best eight singles and doubles results. You will still appear on the Australian Progress Series leader board even if you compete in fewer draws. However, the more draws you compete in, the better your chances are of qualifying for the end-of-season Australian Progress Series Finals.

The Australian Progress Series is aimed at high-level touring players. If you are not quite at this level yet, there are many Open Series events on the endorsed calendar offering great prize money and level-based play opportunities. View the calendar here.
