ITF World Tennis Number (WTN)

9 MINUTE READ

The ITF World Tennis Number is a rating system for all tennis players across the world, creating a global player standard to enable more appropriate matches between players of similar levels from recreational to professional tennis. This will make it easier for everyone who plays tennis in Britain to organise and play against opponents of a similar standard.

Whether you’re playing at Wimbledon (we can dream), or just meeting a friend to play matches at your local court (much more likely), everyone’s welcome – and everyone will have their own World Tennis Number.

ITF Algorithm Changes – September 2024

The ITF will be making enhancements to the ITF World Tennis Number (WTN) calculation on Wednesday 11 September 2024. 

This enhancement to the WTN algorithm will reposition some groups of players on the current scale of 40-1. While player's across the country are likely to see their number adjusted, movement relative to others in their own age groups should be similar if they play regularly. The changes being made are based on feedback from players, coaches and national governing bodies, as well as using player data to inform the decision-making process.
