John McEnroe finished the year as ATP world No. 1 for the third time in his career. McEnroe won six titles during the season, including a major at the Wimbedon Championships, as well as the Masters Grand Prix.
Mats Wilander was the 1983 Grand Prix No. 1. Wilander won nine tournaments during the season, including a major at the Australian Open, and finished runner-up at another major, the French Open.

The 1983 Volvo Grand Prix was a professional tennis circuit held that year.
