Tennis rankings ...

Hi ,
Regarding tennis rankings Ireland use this class 1-7 system,
7 being the worst, 1 the best - The USTA have a 1.5 - 7.0 system,
better players in ascending order.


Anyone know the equivalent of the Class (irish system)

I found this

Not sure if it's the same as the Irish rating (on the left) Anyone know ?


I play at a 5.0 rating in BCN Spain, we use that here too ... years ago I played class 5 in Ireland, but have massively improved since then.

Here is a chart that lists a load of national ranking systems and allocates the equivalent ITN: http://www.itftennis.com/shared/medialibrary/pdf/original/IO_43630_original.PDF
Very roughly, the GBR rankings are not far off the Dublin Leagues Class 1-7 system, anything below Class 7 here is just rated as non-league, but the UK rate further down. There used to be a conversion chart for allocating ITNs based on league standard, but I can't find it on the Tennis Ireland, or Leinster Tennis websites any more.

Just thought I'd bump this up as Tennis Ireland have published a conversion list for the ITN to the various provincial ratings, so combined with the ITN conversions above it will allow you to compare ratings with a number of other countries. the TI conversion is here:
