What’s the ITF World Tennis Number?

The ITF World Tennis Number is a rating system for all tennis players across the world. It makes it easier for everyone who plays tennis in Britain to organise and play against opponents of a similar standard.

• A worldwide rating system that ranges from 40 (beginner players) to 1 (pro players).
• Has separate ratings for Singles and Doubles players
• Uses a sophisticated algorithm to calculate your rating and updates it every time you compete
• Counts sets and matches played, which means the more you compete, the more accurate your WTN will be

Improve your skills, meet a host of new people, and win some amazing prizes throughout the year by signing up for a Barclays Local Tennis League near you.

Ratings and reviews

So many things wrong with this app, it's hard to know where to start. The concept is great (thank you Sally and Nigel for all your hard work) but since the LTA took over it's gone rapidly downhill. Not surprisingly they make it as difficult as possible to contact them to get anything sorted. We used to have a ladies league with three divisions at it's height. No more. I won't be signing up again in hope as they hold onto your money even when the round doesn't happen- no I don't want a voucher.

I downloaded this app with the intent to find a local game to play as a complete beginner. After logging in, the first page is a 'Sorry, player scoring is not working atm'. Clearing this error then leads to another error page. Click on 'Home' and it either works or goes back to login page, which never saves your login details. If I eventually do get through to the local leagues filter page, it seems you cannot filter by location. Clicking anything may lead you back to blank login page. I give up

Dreadful. There was no need to replace the simple website. No one was asking for it. Give us each others phone numbers to organise matches ourselves. Almost noone replies on the app chat. I've tried emailing. People just want to use numbers and WhatsApp groups. Face it and give us the phone numbers. What's the reason for withholding numbers?
