ATP and WTA Rankings

Below are links to the latest ATP and WTA rankings for singles and doubles.

There are two different ranking tables for each. The first are the official world rankings updated weekly on Mondays when points from the previous 52 weeks have dropped. These rankings are used for seedings and determining which tournament a player can enter directly.

The second table is the live rankings; this showcases real-time rankings of a player’s position in the race to finish in the Top 8 for the season-ending ATP and WTA Finals. They are updated frequently each week, and players can jump around spots daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are the rankings updated?

The official rankings are updated every Monday, except during the middle of Grand Slam tournaments and Miami + Indian Wells.

How do tennis rankings work?

Rankings work on a rolling 52-week period and take into account a player’s best results in 19 tournaments for the ATP and 16 for the WTA.

When 52 weeks have passed since the points were acquired, they are dropped, and new points are added. If you match your performance from 52 weeks ago, you have a net gain/loss of zero points. You’ll gain points if you better your performance, but if you perform worse, you’ll lose points.

A full explanation of how rankings work can be found here.

What is a protected ranking, and who can use them?

A player can gain protected ranking status when physically injured and does not compete in any tennis event for a minimum of six months. The petition is issued to the ATP (usually the CEO) and must be received within six months of his last tournament.

The protected ranking gives a player a spot in the rankings determined by the player’s average ATP Rankings position during the first three months of his injury.

The Entry Protection status gives players entry into the main draw or qualifying competition or for special exempt consideration.

Protected rankings cannot be used for seeding purposes or Lucky Loser consideration, nor can they be used for a top eight player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals.

How long does a protected ranking last?

A player can use a protected ranking for the first nine tournaments they compete in using the Entry Protection or for up to nine months, beginning with the first tennis event that the player competes in, whichever happens first. This excludes wild cards and entries as a Direct Acceptance, should the true ranking allow this.

Suppose a player is physically injured and does not compete in any tennis event for twelve months or longer. In that case, the entry protection shall be in effect for the first twelve singles tournaments and the first twelve doubles tournaments that the player competes in using the entry protection or for the period up to twelve months beginning with the first tennis event that the player competes in, whichever occurs first.

How are players separated when they have the same amount of ranking points?

When two or more players have the same total number of points, the player who has the following will be ranked higher:

• The most total points combined from the Grand Slams, ATP Masters 1000 mandatory tournaments, and Nitto ATP Finals main draws, and if still tied, then,
• The fewest events played, counting all missed Grand Slams, ATP Masters 1000 tournaments and Nitto ATP Finals they could have played – as if played, and if still tied, then,
• The highest number of points from one tournament, then the second highest, if needed, and so on.

What are the points distributions for each tournament?

Have you ever wondered how the latest men’s tennis rankings are calculated? If so, you’re not alone.

At first glance the ATP ranking system can come off a bit daunting, especially when compared to other sports, but the good news is that it’s really not all that bad.

At TennisCompanion we think all tennis players and fans should have at least a basic understanding of how men’s tennis rankings are calculated. As a result, we’ve spent some time to put together this section to explain how it works.

Men’s ATP Ranking System

To start, men’s tennis rankings are based on a simple point system. In other words, the more points a player accumulates the higher their ranking. Each player accumulates points through the participation in various tennis tournaments throughout the year and the further a player progresses through a tournament the more points they are rewarded.

Not so bad, right?

Of course, as you can imagine the distribution of points varies depending on the tournament. For example, winning the US Open is going to be worth more points than winning a small Challenger Tour tournament.

With that said, let’s take a quick look at the types of tournaments that make up the men’s professional tennis circuit.

Tier 1: Men’s ATP World Tour

Tier 1 tournaments are typically the most familiar or well known group of men’s professional tennis tournaments. These include the Grand Slams, ATP World Tour Masters 1000 as well as the ATP World Tour 500 & 250 tournaments.

Grand Slams Each year, the men’s ATP runs four grand slams. Things kick off in the beginning of the calendar year with the Australian Open, then we move on to the French Open, Wimbledon and we wrap things up with the US Open at the end of the summer.

ATP Word Tour Masters 1000 While not as high profile as the four grand slams, the nine annual masters tournaments run throughout the year in North America, Europe and Asia. These tournaments include the famous Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters as well as the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA.

ATP World Tour 500 & 250 The third tier and fourth level of tier 1 men’s ATP professional tennis tournaments include ATP World Tour 500 & 250 tournaments. The 500 series includes 11 annual tournaments, while the newer (established in 2009) 250 series includes 40 tournaments throughout the year.

Tier 2: Men’s ATP Challenger Tour

The men’s Challenge Tour is a step down from the ATP World tour and the ability to earn ATP points is limited in comparison to the World Tour. As a result, you won’t see many top 100 players competing frequently in these tournaments.

The following Challenger Tour tournaments are held each year.

ATP Challenger Tour 125,000 + H ATP Challenger Tour 125,000 ATP Challenger Tour 100,000 ATP Challenger Tour 75,000 ATP Challenger Tour 50,000 ATP Challenger Tour 35,000 + H

Tier 3: Men’s Futures Tournaments

The lowest and final tier of men’s professional tennis tournaments are the Futures. While these tournaments don’t award many points, they are the stomping ground for amateur players looking to make their mark and earn points to make their way into Challenger Tournaments and finally the ATP World Tour.

Futures 15,000 + H Futures 15,000 Futures 10,000 + H Futures 10,000

So… what does all this mean? As you may have guessed the number of points tied to a specific tournament depends on the tier. The higher the tier, laddering up from the Futures all the way to the Grand Slams, the more points a player has the opportunity to accumulate.

Men’s ATP tennis rankings are calculated on a rolling basis by totaling a players points over the past 52 weeks for the following tournaments:

• Four Grand Slams
• Eight Masters 1000 tournaments
• World Tour Finals
• Best 6 results from the World Tour 500 & 250, Challenger and Futures

We find one of the easiest way to get a grasp for how points are awarded to players at each level of tournament is by looking at a table that breaks down the point distribution.

Men’s ATP Point Distribution

In the table below you’ll find the current men’s ATP point distribution. On the left hand side, all of the tournaments are listed and across the top you’ll notice abbreviations for the different rounds of the tournament, which match up with the number of points that are rewarded.

*H – denotes hospitality or that the tournament covers food and lodging for players
