How To Find Your Number?
To facilitate the rating of players the ITF have developed a Description of Standards and an objective On Court Assessment both of which can be used to rate players in the absence of competition results.
The ITN Description of Standards provides a benchmark for determining a player's level of tennis ( 1 - 10 ) and includes:-
- the general characteristics of various playing levels
- the five-game / tactical situations of tennis (e.g. serving, returning, both at baseline, approaching, passing) and
- the game-style of the player.
MBPSPORTS run comprehensive ITN Assessment/Workshop programs. See below to get an indication of where you fit.
Which Category Do You Fit Into?
ITN 1 - 4
Elite/High Performance Player
-
1-2 A player with this ranking holds, or is capable of holding an ATP/WTA ranking.
-
3-4 A player with this ranking has exceptional control the tennis ball, has a great feel for shots, can analyse and exploit an opponents weakness, plays well under pressure and has great footwork and balance.
ITN 5 - 8
Intermediate Player
-
5-6 A player with this ranking has good consistency (dependable strokes), directional control and depth on forehand and backhand, can serve consistently and has sound footwork.
-
7-8 A player with this ranking is fairly consistent when hitting moderately paced ground strokes, but is not comfortable playing all strokes. A singles match will be played almost exclusively from the baseline. When playing other players of the same ability, this player can sustain a short rally of slow pace with moderate consistency. The serve is developing a rhythm and second serve is substantially slower than the first.
ITN 8 - 10
