The world has many acronyms and initials but we want you to get familiar with this one. The World Tennis Number (WTN) was developed by the International Tennis Federation. This number is free and assigned to anyone who's played a USTA match within the last 5 years. The WTN number applies to both Singles and Doubles players.
Find your number (or your on-court rival's number) by logging into the USTA Apple app or search here
Benefits of WTN, according to USTA website include:
It's a free 40-1 scale which makes assessing your play and seeing your progression more fun and rewarding.
Players get one ITF WTN for singles and one for doubles. Beginners start at 40 and pro players will be closer to 1.
