UTR Universal Tennis Rating

What is UTR?

Universal Tennis Rating or “UTR” is a system that the tennis world has been waiting for. Those of you who have played sanctioned tournaments are probably familiar with the United States Tennis Association’s (USTA) rating system that is based on a scale of 1-7.  


The USTA scale rates players in increments of .5. For example, a very common rating for a club player may be 3.0 or 3.5. Unfortunately this system has always been very limited and could not capture the full range of players.


UTR uses a scale of 1-16 down to a hundredth of a point.  For example, Roger Federer on a given day could be 16.26, Serena Williams 13.03, a top male college player 14.5, a 3.5 women’s USTA player 3.12.  The system applies to EVERYONE regardless of gender or age.

Verified UTR vs. UTR

The rating counts all results, including matches played in verified tournaments/events and non-verified matches. Verified UTR Rating counts match results played in only verified tournaments and events.

For example, USTA league/tournament matches count toward Verified UTR and UTR Rating. Casual/practice matches and self-posted scores count only toward UTR Rating.
