Endorsed by 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, the UTR Rankings offer a more accurate reflection of current form on court.
The UTR rankings are calculated using a different method to the traditional ATP list, with the current form and the ranking of your opponent taken into account when the final analysis is made.
The method for calculating the UTR ratings differs greatly from the rolling ATP list, which ranks players based on the points they collect over 52 weeks.
Victories against higher-ranked played are worth more in the UTR list than the official ATP or WTA ranking, meaning they offer up a more accurate reflection of the current form at the top of the game.
The UTR rankings are based on the current form from the last few weeks and months rather than reflecting results that occurred up to a year ago, with the system created to promote 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.
The UTR ranking is open to players of all levels of the game and the algorithm used provides an intriguing insight at the top of the game, with Jack
Draper’s run to the US Open semi-finals fired the Brit into the top ten of these rankings, with the 22-year-old sitting in eighth position in the UTR list and the ranking of Djokovic is also intriguing, as he is sitting at No 1.
The Serbian legend has slipped to No 4 in the ATP Rankings after his early exit at the US Open, but his win against Carlos Alcaraz in the Olympic Games Final – which did not count towards the ATP list- is taken into account in the UTR calculations.
