Does “entering” an ITF tournament mean that I’m in the qualifying draw or how does that work?
Entering an ITF tournament does not necessarily mean that you are in the qualifying draw. The process of entering an ITF tournament and the meaning of "entering" can vary depending on the specific tournament and its regulations.
Typically, when you enter an ITF tournament, you will be placed on a waiting list. If there are enough players who withdraw from the tournament, you may be offered a spot in the qualifying draw. The qualifying draw is a single-elimination tournament that determines which players will qualify for the main draw of the tournament.
If you are not offered a spot in the qualifying draw, you may still be able to enter the tournament as an alternate. Alternates are players who are not initially accepted into the tournament but may be called upon to play if there are any withdrawals.
To increase your chances of being offered a spot in the qualifying draw or as an alternate, it is important to have a high ITF ranking. The ITF ranking is a measure of a player's skill level. Players with higher ITF rankings are more likely to be offered spots in tournaments.
