With the 2022 season right around the corner, here's a look at the provisional tennis schedule for both the tours. All information has been sourced from the ATP, the tournament websites, or their official social media handles. The ATP have confirmed their schedule till July.

This post shall be updated as and when more information is available.

2022 ATP Schedule

The season kicks off with a packed schedule in Australia -- the ATP Cup along with two 250 events is scheduled in the very first week of January, followed by two more 250 events the week after that. This year saw most of the top ten participate in the ATP Cup and 2022 is expected to be the same.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic loves representing Serbia and the ATP Cup serves as the perfect build-up as he bids for a record tenth Australian Open title. Rafael Nadal, who missed the second half of the 2021 season due to an injury, also played in the last two editions of the ATP Cup and is expected to start his 2022 season by participating in the tournament.

The 2022 season will also see the return of tournaments after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The Libema Open and the Grand Prix Hassan II are back after two years, while the Rio Open is being held after a one year absence. The BNP Paribas Open will also be held in March as usual.

Indian fans will also be delighted to learn that the Tata Open is also being held again in Pune after a one-year break. Out of all the new events that were held in 2021, so far, only the Serbia Open is confirmed to be held again. Novak Djokovic participated in the 2021 edition, and is expected to play next year as well.

Events that were held in the first half of 2021 and aren't a part of this year's tennis schedule are the Singapore Open, Andalucia Open, Emilia-Romagna Open, and the Sardegna Open.

2022 WTA Schedule

The 2022 tennis schedule for the WTA starts with a busy lead-up to the Australian Open, as two 500 level events and three 250 level events are scheduled for the first two weeks of January. These events witness good participation from all the top players and barring an injury, everyone from the top 75 at the very least should participate.

Serena Williams participated in one such event this year, and the American said she's looking forward to competing in Australia after her season ended following an injury at Wimbledon in 2021.

Her tennis schedule over the last few years has been sparse, but Williams always tries to play in all the Grand Slams and one tournament before each. She's expected to do the same next season.

Naomi Osaka has also indicated her hiatus from tennis has ended and will return to play in Australia. World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty, who recently announced her engagement, will attempt to win her third Grand Slam in front of her home crowd. She ended her 2021 season following the US Open after being away from home for a long time and stating she wanted to prepare for the Australian Open.

After the US Open, most of the tournaments on the WTA Tour and a few on the ATP Tour, took place in China. However, they were canceled last year and this year as well due to the ongoing pandemic. With the recent situation involving Peng Shuai, there's a possibility of the Asian schedule getting canceled yet again.

Most of the new tournaments that took place to fill the gap in the tennis schedule this year were possibly hosted on a one-off basis, and as such, it remains unclear what the future holds for them.
