Björn Borg finished the year as ATP world No. 1 for the second time in his career. Borg won eight titles during the season, including two majors at the French Open and the Wimbledon Championships, as well as the Masters Grand Prix. He also finished runner-up at another major at the US Open.

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. Eight World Championship Tennis tournaments were incorporated into the circuit.
