Statistical information
[edit]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 2015 ATP World Tour: the Grand Slam tournaments, the ATP World Tour Finals, the ATP World Tour Masters 1000, the ATP World Tour 500 series, and the ATP World Tour 250 series. The players/nations are sorted by:

- 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 500 event win equalling two 250 events wins);
- A singles > doubles > mixed doubles hierarchy;
- Alphabetical order (by family names for players).

2 For the first round only, any player who competes in a live rubber, without a win, receives 10 ranking points for participation.[15]
3 Team bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 7 live matches in a calendar year and his team wins the competition.[15]
4 Performance bonus awarded to a singles player who wins 8 live matches in a calendar year. In this case, no Team bonus is awarded.[15]
