Men's tennis circuit
This is a list of the tournaments played in the 2005 season of Men's tennis (calendar year ), including ATP events and ITF events (This does not include the ITF Men's Circuit, only the ATP circuit). Changes were made to match format during this season. The third set of doubles matches was no longer played as a traditional set. Instead it was played as a match tie break first to 10 and clear by 2, to decide the winner.[ 1]
