UNDERSTAND YOUR UTR RATING
Your UTR Rating is a FREE assessment of your skill level reflected by a two-decimal point number. Every player, including junior tennis players, is rated on the same 1-16.5 scale regardless of age, gender, geographic location, or socio-economic background. The algorithm factors in match weight, match rating, and when the match was played. Regardless of whether you or your opponent is rated higher, every game counts towards your UTR Rating, so never give up!
