What to expect from Match Play

Developed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the ITF World Tennis Number (WTN) is a rating that provides a global standard for players in both singles and doubles with a scale of 1 (top pro)- 40 (beginner). WTN Match Play allows players to participate in matches that count towards their WTN without having to commit to a tournament. Players are placed in groups based on their ratings to ensure appropriate levels of competition and promote positive sportsmanship through level-based play.
