UNIVERSAL TENNIS RATING SYSTEM

Waverley Tennis is delighted to announce that it will be using the Universal Tennis Rating System for all inter-Association events hosted by Waverley.

Some of you that have UTR accounts have already noticed that junior matches from last season have been uploaded into the UTR system. We are now working to do this on a continuous basis, so that local competition results contribute to your global UTR.

UTR is widely used throughout the tennis community by professionals, collegiate players, juniors and recreational players. For any players that aspire to go to US College, UTR is the key measure that college coaches use to compare and select players for their teams.

UTR rates every tennis player, across age, gender and geography, on a 16-point scale. It’s an objective, results-driven rating based on:

1. Strength of opponent
2. Games won
3. Your last 30 matches within 12 months

Tennis Australia's Competitive Play, using UTR, starts January 2022.
