About

Opt Circuit is a concept created by OPT Sport, that organizes a series of tennis events under the sanction of the International Tennis Federation, across the MENA region.

All OPT Circuit tournaments are open to all tennis players based on merit and without discrimination subject only to the conditions laid down in the ITF Pro Circuit Rule Book.

Futures

In the late 1990s, the ITF introduced Futures tournaments, allowing for greater flexibility in the organization of the tournaments for national associations, and participation in tournaments for players. Over time, the ratio of Futures tournaments to satellites increased until 2007, when satellites were eliminated.

Futures tournaments allow for players to win career titles and improve their rankings. Futures are held in both singles and doubles, and last only one week. As of 2008, the prize fund for each tournament is either US$10,000 or US$15,000. Some tournaments also provide housing for participants. Futures usually have sizable qualifying draws, which allow unranked players to enter tournaments and earn ATP ranking points.
