Are rankings combined or separate for tennis players between doubles and singles

Tennis players have separate rankings for singles and doubles. This is because the skills required for each discipline are different. Singles players need to be able to cover the entire court by themselves, while doubles players can rely on their partner to cover certain areas. Singles players also need to be able to hit the ball with power and accuracy, while doubles players can focus more on placement and teamwork.

The different skills required for singles and doubles are reflected in the different ranking systems. The singles ranking is based on a player's performance in singles tournaments, while the doubles ranking is based on a player's performance in doubles tournaments. This allows players to specialize in one discipline without having to worry about their ranking in the other discipline.

Some players are able to excel at both singles and doubles. For example, Novak Djokovic is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in both singles and doubles. However, most players find it difficult to maintain a high ranking in both disciplines. This is because the demands of each discipline are so different.
