How does the ranking system work in tennis?

The tennis ranking system is used to determine the relative skill level of professional tennis players. It is based on a player's performance in tournaments over the past 52 weeks. Players are awarded points for each tournament they enter, and the number of points they receive depends on how far they advance in the tournament.

The ranking system is divided into three levels:

  • ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals): This is the ranking system for men's tennis.
  • WTA (Women's Tennis Association): This is the ranking system for women's tennis.
  • ITF (International Tennis Federation): This is the ranking system for junior tennis players and players who are not eligible for the ATP or WTA rankings.

The ATP and WTA rankings are updated every Monday. The ITF rankings are updated every Tuesday.

The ranking system is used to determine which players are eligible to enter certain tournaments. It is also used to determine which players are seeded in tournaments.
