How Our Ranking System Works
Our ITF ranking system is based on points awarded to athletes for their performance in recent championships. The points allocation for various achievements is as follows:
There are separate rankings for European and World championships, ensuring fair representation and competition.
To maintain the freshness of rankings and encourage consistent performance, we deduct 20% of the points earned in a specific championship every year. For example, if an athlete earns 40 points in 2022, they will have 32 points (40 – 20%) in 2023 for that championship.
Rankings are updated after every international championship, ensuring an accurate reflection of current athlete performance.
Only the following international championships are considered for the ranking system:
- European Championships
- European Cup
- World Championships
- World Cup
- Continental Championships and Cups
- Official International Championships
