Unlike traditional ranking systems, which often depend on tournament results, the WTN is based on a player's actual performance on the court, considering factors like match results, the level of opponent faced, and the set score. This makes it a more accurate reflection of a beginner's abilities, especially if they are still working on developing their skills.

The WTN helps facilitate fairer matches by grouping players of similar abilities. Beginners will be able to find opponents at a comparable skill level, leading to more enjoyable and competitive matches. Not being able to find compatible partners and opponents is often one of the major reasons people stop playing tennis. 

For beginners, focusing on the WTN instead of tournament results can reduce the pressure of performing in competitive environments. It emphasises improvement and personal development, rather than being solely result-oriented.

The WTN allows beginners to track their improvement over time. As they play more matches and improve their game, their number will improve, indicating progress. This is encouraging for beginners as they can see measurable growth, even if they aren't playing in formal tournaments.

The WTN includes all levels of players, from beginners to professionals. This makes it a more inclusive system, as beginners are not excluded from the system but instead are part of a global tennis community.
