Tennis rating comparison table
The canonical reference table is anchored on UTR (the global standard) and aligned across NTRP, WTN, and ITN. Values are approximate since there is no official cross-system conversion published by any rating organization, and NTRP → UTR accuracy depends on division (men’s vs. women’s).
What’s the difference between UTR, NTRP, WTN, ITN, and self-rated?
Each of these systems measures something slightly different, which is why a player can carry several tennis ratings at once and see them disagree.

What happened to ITN?
ITN (ITF Tennis Number) was the ITF’s previous global rating, running from 10.3 (beginner) to 1 (world-class) in 0.5 steps. It was effectively replaced in 2022 by the World Tennis Number (WTN), which is finer-grained, federation-fed, and algorithmic. Players with old ITN numbers can use them as a starting point in this converter, but new ITF-aligned ratings now publish as WTN.
How accurate are these conversions?
Conversions between systems are approximations because each system measures overlapping but distinct things. UTR ↔ Dynamic NTRP is the tightest pairing at the upper levels because both are algorithmic. UTR ↔ NTRP shifts by division — women’s NTRP maps about half a level lower in UTR than men’s — which is why this converter applies a gender adjustment. UTR ↔ WTN is solid because WTN normalizes globally the same way UTR does, though the scales are inverted. UTR ↔ self-rated has the widest band because self-rating is an honor system. Treat any cross-system value as an estimate with a confidence range.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
A 3.5 NTRP is solid recreational tennis tipping into competitive play. A 3.5 hits dependable groundstrokes with some pace and spin, has a working second serve, plays smart doubles, and can construct a point. In UTR a 3.5 NTRP male player typically lands around UTR 5–6; women’s 3.5 NTRP lands closer to UTR 4–5. In WTN it’s around 17.
UTR is algorithmic and globally normalized — every match counts and your rating tightens as you play. NTRP is USTA-specific, capped at 7.0, and rated in 0.5 steps for league brackets. Below NTRP 3.5, UTR scales steeply (3.0 NTRP ≈ UTR 3–4). At NTRP 4.0 and above, every 0.5 NTRP step is roughly +2 UTR. Our converter applies a banded model based on the in-product conversion we use across Bounce.
WTN is the ITF’s official global rating launched in 2022 to unify federation ratings worldwide. It runs from 40 (just learning) down to 1 (top pros) — lower is stronger. National federations in 100+ countries feed match results into it, so it’s the closest thing tennis has to a truly global rating. WTN ~17 ≈ NTRP 3.5 ≈ UTR 5.
Yes. ITN (ITF Tennis Number) was the previous global rating, running 10.3 (beginner) to 1 (world-class) in 0.5 steps. It was effectively replaced by WTN in 2022. If you have an old ITN from a federation profile, you can use it as a starting point in this converter, but new ITF-aligned ratings now publish as WTN.
NTRP is the 0.5-step band your USTA league plays in (e.g., 3.5 or 4.0). Dynamic NTRP is the underlying 3-decimal computer rating that USTA actually computes from your league match results. It moves continuously and decides whether you bump up or down at year-end. Both use the 1.0–7.0 scale.
They measure overlapping but distinct things. UTR weighs every recorded match (including non-USTA events, college matches, and international play) and rewards close losses to higher-rated players. NTRP only uses USTA-sanctioned league/tournament results and rounds into half-step bands. Tournament-active players often see UTR move faster than NTRP.
Yes. Women’s NTRP maps about half a level lower in UTR than men’s NTRP at the same number (a women’s 4.0 NTRP is typically a slightly lower UTR than a men’s 4.0). We apply that adjustment when you pick a division. This mirrors the conversion we use across Bounce for cross-system normalization.
Conversions are approximations — no organization publishes an official cross-system table. UTR ↔ Dynamic NTRP is the tightest at the upper end because both are algorithmic. UTR ↔ self-rated NTRP and UTR ↔ ITN are the loosest because those systems use coarse 0.5-step bands. Treat any cross-system value as an estimate with a confidence range, and trust the rating from the system that has the most data on you.
Sign up at utrsports.net (free) and log matches via verified events or your own match recording. As you play, UTR converges toward your true level. Most USTA tournaments, ITA college events, and ITF junior events feed UTR automatically. Your profile shows a reliability score that grows with verified matches.
Either self-rate against USTA’s 1.0–7.0 guidelines when you create a USTA account, or play USTA league matches and you’ll receive a year-end computed NTRP rating in November based on dynamic NTRP movement.
UTR can update after every logged match. WTN updates as federation match results post (typically weekly). Dynamic NTRP updates throughout the USTA league season. NTRP year-end ratings publish each November. ITN is effectively frozen now that WTN has replaced it. Self-rated only changes when you decide to update.
College tennis uses UTR as the primary benchmark. NCAA Division I men typically recruit at UTR 11+, women UTR 9+. Division II/III recruit roughly two UTR points lower. NAIA/junior college overlaps the lower band. Most college coaches will ask for your UTR before NTRP.
No rating organization publishes an official cross-system conversion table. Our converter combines published guidance, the in-product conversion model we use across Bounce, and statistical correlation across multi-rated players. Treat any cross-system value as an estimate, with a confidence range.
