| ITN Description of Standards |
ITN Description of Standards’ describes each of the ten rating categories.
Approved by the ITF Coaches Commission and the ITF International Tennis Rating Taskforce, it is hoped this guide will help players to be accurately rated. Whilst trying to make the Description of Standards as precise as possible, the Taskforce has attempted to keep it simple and not too technical. The intention is that it should be easy to understand and useful for both the player and / or the assessor (coach / administrator).
The ITN Description of Standards has avoided rating players purely on the technical assessment of individual shots. Instead it has used as its basis:
• the general characteristics of various playing levels
• the five-game / tactical situations of tennis (e.g. serving, returning, both at baseline, approaching, passing)
• the game-style of the player.
The Description of Standards is available as PDF documents listed below in English, Spanish and French.
