John McEnroe was the 1980 Grand Prix No. 1. McEnroe won nine tournaments during the season, including a major at the US Open, and finished runner-up at another major at the Wimbledon Championships.
The 1980 Volvo Grand Prix was a men's professional tennis circuit held that year. It incorporated the four grand slam tournaments, the Grand Prix tournaments. The Grand Prix circuit is a precursor to the ATP Tour.
Volvo became the new tour sponsor of the Grand Prix circuit after Colgate-Palmolive decided to end its sponsorship.[1][2] Eight World Championship Tennis tournaments were incorporated into the circuit.
