rating

Hello everyone! Check out the highlights from my recent tennis league match! Can you please help identifying my tennis level ? What do you think is my NTRP rating? I'm also interested in knowing your thoughts on how far an amateur player can go. If you know any players who have had...

This is intended as a discussion where we can talk about all the pros and cons of how USTA uses its rating system and what some solutions might be. I started it as a response in a thread but it is clear this topic is much broader and I don’t want to hijack the other persons thread more than I...

I'd like to rate myself in the USTA adult ratings even though I'm 16, just to get a feel for how much I'd need to improve to be competitive in a college setting. Here are some traits I have: - First Serve generally forces errors or gives a weak return - Second Serve is a slow, yet inconsistent...

If anyone has ever played a sports video game, where you slowly over time bump up your players Overall rating, UTR feels the same way. UTR gives me a visible interpretation of improvement, and makes me feel like I’m leveling myself up just like in a video game. Just some random thoughts I had lol.

Hey everyone! I'm a rising junior (class of 2020) from Illinois, and I turned 16 just a few days ago. Due to family issues and other issues I have not been able to play many national tournaments over the past 15 months or so, so I was unable to qualify for the Kalamazoo 16s Hard Court nationals...

An article which tries to put the current focus on ratings in perspective... https://medium.com/@TennisVisuals/eyes-on-court-8eb0209ca082

UTR is a flawed system, and myutr is a poorly-designed website. This is why. Hear me out: High school matches cannot be recorded unless the ENTIRE TEAM is registered with UTR. This effectively means no high school matches ever get recorded. Casual club matches cannot get recorded either...

When I was living in Canada I was regularly playing in 4.0 tournaments. I've spent the past two years in France, their scale is much more detailed (and the all around average player is on a better level) — I've moved up all the way up to a 30/2. But when I check on the conversion chart, it says...

Sorry if this a long post but the backstory is important to the story. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am a 3.5 to 4.0 level player. I play on a DIII college tennis team, however I am not a starter and have played in just 4 meets my whole college tennis career (I'm currently a senior)...
