ITF World Tennis Number - Algorithm Update - 30 March 2022
The ITF has been working with National Associations including LTA to further enhance the calculation of the ITF World Tennis Number. The update to the algorithm took place in the weekly update on 30 March 2022 and may affect any player with an existing ITF World Tennis Number.
Most players will see a very small change (no more than 1 or 2 WTNs) but a very small proportion of players may see a more significant change. The new advanced calculation will ensure players are assigned an initial number that will make the system more accurate and consistent for all players.

Joining your Local Tennis League is the perfect way for you to quench your competitive thirst, improve your tennis and make friends, all balanced around your busy lifestyle.
