How do I enter ITF Masters tournaments, and what does IPIN cost?

1. Register for an ITF Masters IPIN membership. You can't compete or earn ranking points until it's complete.
2. Enter singles (and withdraw) online at itftennis.com/ipin. Doubles can sometimes also be entered on site, depending on the tournament type shown on the fact sheet.
3. Pay the Tournament IPIN Fee: USD 12 per tournament (singles, doubles or both) for your first five tournaments in a calendar year, to a maximum of USD 60; after that it's waived. It's refunded in full if you withdraw before the Withdrawal Deadline. At MT400, MT700 and MT1000 events it's paid online when you enter; at other grades it's collected with the entry fee.
4. Pay the tournament's entry fee. No ranking points are given where IPIN or entry fees are outstanding.

You must be under the jurisdiction of an ITF-affiliated national association (Tennis South Africa for South African players), and your nationality is taken from your passport at IPIN registration.
