Leaderboard

How are rankings calculated?

Ranking points are accumulated based on performances in the singles tournaments at the 12 Leaderboard events.

Players are then ranked in order of most points accumulated.

If there’s a tie, how is the order determined? 

• Highest number of Leaderboard events played.
• Player with the highest singles ranking points received from an individual event.

TS Open Tour Finals

Entries for the 16 men’s and women’s places at the TS Open Tour Finals will be accepted  following the final qualifying event.

The top 15 players on the men's and women's Leaderboards qualify directly for the TS Open Tour Finals.

A separate Leaderboard is compiled for the four UTR Pro Tennis Tour events held in Scotland - the leading man and woman each qualify for the TS Open Tour Finals.

A total of two wildcards in each draw may be awarded. To be eligible for a wildcard, a player must have played in at least one Leaderboard event in the calendar year and won a match.

A wildcard may be awarded to a player who has not entered the tournament and that player may be seeded.

Should a player finish top of the UTR leaderboard and also qualify directly from the TS Open Tour Leaderboard, Tennis Scotland reserves the right to award a wildcard.

Seedings for the draw will be based on:

• ATP/WTA singles ranking
• ITF World Tennis singles ranking (1500 or better)
• ITF World Tennis Number (followed by LTA ranking)

Other rules & regulations

Grade 1 and 2 singles events will follow rules in line with the British Tour, which can be found here: LTA British Tour Professional Tennis Competition

Grade 3 singles events will follow LTA competition rules and regulations, however acceptances and seedings will be based on:

• ATP/WTA singles ranking
• ITF World Tennis singles ranking (must be 1500 or better)
• ITF World Tennis Number (followed by LTA ranking if WTN same)

A player who is defaulted from any event or receives a suspension in 2025 may be deemed ineligible and refused entry for any TS tour finals event (Open, Challenge or Junior Tour).

Withdrawals

Players withdrawing after the deadline will receive late withdrawal points, with the exception of a player who withdraws because they are competing in an LTA GB Pro-Series/ITF World Tennis Tour/ATP/WTA event.

2026 Leaderboards

The TS Open Tour Fair Play Award is designed to encourage all players to adhere to the Fair Play Pledges and maintain a good standard of fair play throughout the year across all tournaments.

Based on input from the organisers of each event, our tournament committee will nominate one men's and one women's player to receive the Award.
