• Green Ball and Yellow Ball results do contribute to a player’s WTN. However, this is under the condition that all players participating in the match are at least 9 years old.
• There’s an exception for younger players. Those who are 7 and 8 years old and have progressed from Orange Ball to Green Ball play can also have a WTN rating. Their Green Ball match results will start contributing to their WTN once they’ve played a Green Ball match.

This system ensures that junior players of all skill levels can track their progress and see how their performance in matches contributes to their overall tennis rating. It’s a great way for young players to see their improvement over time and set goals for their future tennis journey.

The World Tennis Number (WTN) is the most recent tennis player rating system to be adopted by over 135 nations, including the USTA. The WTN was created by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the largest governing tennis body in the world.

How Does The WTN Work?

Your World Tennis Number rating will be between 40-1.

• Beginners start at 40
• Pro players will be closer to 1

Your rating is calculated weekly, so if you want to see movement in your rating, then you will need to get out and play.
