lta 3.1

[jackofromalsager]

i live in england and our tennis rating system is called the lta (lawn tennis asoceation) and have any of you guys got a video of a 16 year old male tennis player who is rated 3.1 ?

Be aware that no-one outside of the UK will understand "3.1" and that the LOWER the number, the higher the ranking. Come to think of it, no-one in the UK really understands the LTA or its ratings. :cool:

After the LTA ratings changed a couple of years ago, my 5.2 then became a 7.2. I looked at a chart comparing LTA and NTRP which said that potentially I was a 2.5! :eek:

Fortunately I ignored it! :mrgreen: I played one tourney in Vancouver at an NTRP 4.0 and won my first round match against a 3.5 in 3 sets and then lost 2 & 2 to the 4th or 5th seed.

The LTA is just a joke and the ratings are even more laughable. IMO the NTRP self-rating is far more sensible. If you are 3.1, you are most likely a 5.0+ perhaps?

I cannot put into words the amount of disdain I have for the LTA and the way they do nothing to promote tennis for "ordinary" people.

I do have to add though that the improvements that they have made to their website are good! Their old site was so shockingly awful I eventually gave up looking on it - now I go on it almost every day!

Yea, the USTA website is pretty horrid too.

Yea, the USTA website is pretty horrid too.

Fortunately you can find many other sites that detail exactly what skill level each NTRP ranking applies to.
