What is UTR Rating and How Does It Work?

Featuring 980 tournaments in 130 nations, the Tour sees players compete across six levels of tournament – from J500 through to J300, J200, J100, J60 and J30. The ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors provides a launch pad for the best players to go on and achieve success in the professional game.

UTR Rating is a system created by UTR Sports that promotes fair and competitive play across the tennis world. All players, regardless of age, gender, geography, or skill level, are rated on the same scale between 1.00 and 16.50 based on actual match results.

A player’s UTR Rating is calculated based upon whom they play as opposed to how many tournaments they’ve been able to travel to and win points in.

The UTR Rating is the best way to measure yourself against all other players regardless of their age or skill level,” said Novak Djokovic.
