Statistical information
Bob and Mike Bryan won seven titles together in 2012, including the
Olympic gold (def.
Llodra /
Tsonga ), and their fourth
US Open (def.
Paes /
Štěpánek ), tying
John Newcombe and
Tony Roche 's all-time record of 12 Grand Slam wins.
[4]
These tables present the number of
singles (S),
doubles (D), and
mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 2012 ATP World Tour: the
Grand Slam tournaments, the
tennis event at the
London Summer Olympic Games , the
ATP World Tour Finals , the
ATP World Tour Masters 1000 , the
ATP World Tour 500 series , and the
ATP World Tour 250 series .
[3] The players/nations are sorted by: 1) total number of titles (a doubles title won by two players representing the same nation counts as only one win for the nation); 2) cumulated importance of those titles (one Grand Slam win equalling two Masters 1000 wins, one ATP World Tour Finals win equalling one-and-a-half Masters 1000 win, one Masters 1000 win equalling two 500 events wins, one Olympic win equalling one-and-a-half 500 event win, one 500 event win equalling two 250 events wins); 3) a singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy; 4) alphabetical order (by family names for players).

The Davis Cup World Group and World Group Play-Off matches awarded
ATP Ranking points from 2009 to 2015.
[15]
Glossary
Only live matches earn points;
dead rubbers earn no points. If a player does not compete in the singles of one or more rounds he will receive points from the previous round when playing singles at the next tie. This last rule also applies for playing in doubles matches.
[15]
1 A player who wins a singles rubber in the first day of the tie is awarded 5 points, whereas a singles rubber win in tie's last day grants 10 points for a total of 15 available points.
