ITN

The ITN (International Tennis Number)
is an international tennis rating system that gives tennis players a number that represents their general level of play. Players are rated from ITN 1 (ATP or WTA standard or equivalent) to 10 (starter players).

Conversion charts have been developed linking the ITN to other existing rating systems in ITF tennis nations and in time it is hoped that every tennis player worldwide will have a rating.

Below ITN 10 there are 3 further categories linked to the slower balls:

• 10.1 for players using green balls on the full size court

• 10.2 for players using orange balls on the 18 metre court

• 10.3 for players using red balls on the 11 metre court

Once players can ‘Serve, rally and score’ they should have a rating to help them find players to play with of a similar level.
