The tournaments listed above were divided into four groups.

No points were awarded to first round losers and ties were settled by the number of tournaments played. The points allocation is listed below:

On 23 August 1973 the Association of Tennis Professionals published its first list of computer rankings, using points averages rather than points totals in their calculations. These are the ATP Rankings of the top twenty singles players in the first list [4] and at the end of the 1973 season,[5] with numbers of ranking points, points averages, numbers of tournaments played, year-end rankings in 1973, highest and lowest positions during the season and number of spots gained or lost from the first rankings to the year-end rankings.

As of 23 August 1973[6] Rk Name Nation 1 Ilie Năstase  Romania 2 Manuel Orantes  Spain 3 Stan Smith  United States 4 Arthur Ashe  United States 5 Rod Laver  Australia 6 Ken Rosewall  Australia 7 John Newcombe  Australia 8 Adriano Panatta  Italy 9 Tom Okker  Netherlands 10 Jimmy Connors  United States 11 Jan Kodeš  Czechoslovakia 12 Paolo Bertolucci  Italy 13 Roger Taylor  United Kingdom 14 Marty Riessen  United States 15 Tom Gorman  United States 16 Nikola Pilić  Yugoslavia 17 Cliff Richey  United States 18 Mark Cox  United Kingdom 19 Roy Emerson  Australia 20 Karl Meiler  West Germany
