- Separate singles and doubles ranking lists to include Male 30+, Female 30+ to Male 90+ and Female 90+ ranking categories.
- Seniors singles and doubles ranking to be made up of a player's best 4 singles/best 4 doubles results (which may be from the previous age group, excluding Open) within the previous 52 weeks.
- Multiplier of 2 to be applied to both UK and international ITF World Tennis Masters Tour point allocations.
