 What's your number? This is the question tennis tournament committees and players around the world are now starting to ask! What they are referring to is: What is your International Tennis Number? (a number allocated via a globally recognized rating system that you could think of as similar to a golf handicap representing a tennis player’s comparitive level of play!
What a great initiative AND about time!
Further to this great initiative MBPSPORTS has created an excellent interactive package to be allocated an accurate assessment and improve with people of similar tennis levels.
Under this system players will be rated from ITN 1 – ITN 10. ITN 1 represents a high level player (holding an ATP / WTA ranking or of an equivalent playing standard) and ITN 10 is a player that is starting to play competitively (can serve and return) on a full court using a normal ITF approved ball. 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 has avoided rating players purely on the technical assessment of individual shots. Instead it has used as its basis: - 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.
