What is the ITF World Tennis Number?
The ITF World Tennis Number is a rating system for all players, based on skill level and ability. The algorithm uses a sophisticated mathematical calculation, similar to rating systems used in chess and video games, that will determine a player’s competitive ability. It takes into account sets and matches played, which means that the more you compete, the more accurate your rating will be.
With 1.5 million players now able to access their ITF World Tennis Number, we’re currently supporting over 160 National and Regional Tennis Associations in ensuring that they’re able to provide their players with ratings very soon. Should you not already have access to your number, your National Association will be in contact as soon as it is ready.
