ATP International Series
The ATP International Series was a series of professional tennis tournaments held internationally as part of the ATP Tour from 2000 to 2008.
The series was renamed ATP Tour 250 in 2009. International Series offered players cash prizes and the ability to earn ATP ranking points. They generally offered less prize money and fewer points than the ATP International Series Gold, but more than tournaments on the ATP Challenger Series.
