Novak Djokovic won the first three majors of the year, including his record-extending ninth Australian Open title against Daniil Medvedev, then the French Open by beating Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas to become the first man to complete the double career Grand Slam in the Open Era, and Wimbledon beating Matteo Berrettini to equal the all-time then-record of 20 men's singles major titles. His 27-match winning streak ended at the US Open, losing to Medvedev, who won the title. He was hoped to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam in the modern era since Rod Laver in 1969. In March, Djokovic broke Roger Federer's record for most weeks spent as world No. 1 and went on to break Pete Sampras' record for the most year-end world No. 1 finishes. He then participated at the Olympics, when he aimed to become the third man to achieve the career Golden Slam, but lost to Alexander Zverev in the semifinals. Medvedev also led Russia to win both the ATP Cup and Davis Cup.

The 2021 ATP Tour was the global elite men's professional tennis circuit organised by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for the 2021 tennis season. The 2021 ATP Tour calendar comprised the Grand Slam tournaments (supervised by the International Tennis Federation (ITF)), the ATP Finals, the ATP Tour Masters 1000, the ATP Cup, the ATP Tour 500 series and the ATP Tour 250 series. Also included in the 2021 calendar were the Davis Cup (organised by the ITF), the Summer Olympics in Tokyo (rescheduled from 2020), Next Gen ATP Finals, Laver Cup (postponed from 2020), none of which distributed ranking points.
