How do ITF Masters rankings work?

Question

Accepted Answer

Rankings are kept separately for singles, doubles and mixed doubles in each age group, on a 52-week rolling basis, and published every Monday. Your ranking is your best four results from MT100, MT200, MT400, MT700, MT1000 and World Championships tournaments and sanctioned ITF Masters team competitions. Only the latest edition of each MT1000, World Individual and World Team Championships counts. You only score points by reaching a round where points are available, and only if your IPIN and entry fees are paid. Ties are broken by points from World Championships, then MT1000, then MT700, and so on down to MT100 (team competitions excluded). Moving up an age group: your points carry over into your new age group, and you're marked "bis" on ranking lists until the points from your old age group stop counting. Singles points stay in the age group you played. If you play down in a younger group, the points count there, not in your own age group. Doubles and mixed points from your best result go to your actual age group only.
