The bubble is what the champion takes: a Grand Slam is 2,000 points and a 250 is 250, and that is the whole reason a player flies to one and skips the other.

What tennis tournament is next?
The Shanghai Masters is being played this week. The biggest of the next few weeks is the Shanghai Masters (Masters 1000), where the champion takes 1,000 ranking points. As of October 9, 2026.
How many ranking points does the winner of a tournament get?
It depends on the category, not on the opponents: 2,000 for a Grand Slam, 1,000 for a Masters 1000 or a WTA 1000, 500 and 250 for the tournaments named after those numbers. That is why a player will skip a 250 and never skip a 1000.
When does the next Grand Slam start?
There is no Grand Slam among the next tournaments on the calendar. The four are played in January, May-June, June-July and August-September.
Where do these dates come from?
From the ATP and WTA season calendars on Wikipedia, which list the week each tournament starts. The points come from the official points tables for each category and draw size.
