How is my Australian Ranking Calculated?

An athlete’s Australian Ranking is calculated using the best eight (8) singles results plus 25% of their best six (6) doubles results. The mix of an athlete’s best results is modified dependent on their age

The official Australian Ranking system works on a 12 month rollover system – calculated by athletes’ total points in the immediate 12 months. Once this 12 month period expires, acquired points will cease to contribute to an athlete’s AR.

Release Dates

The Australian Ranking is adjusted and updated at the end of each month. The updated ranking lists will appear on the Tennis Australia website by the 8th of the following month. It is an athlete’s responsibility to check that his or her ranking is correct. Any perceived anomalies, incorrect spellings, change of address/date of birth or queries regarding the Australian Rankings should be emailed to Kathryn Oyeniyi via rankings@tennis.com.au.

Information pertaining to these correctionsmust be received no later than the end of the month and these changes will not be made until the next release of the Australian Ranking. However, Tennis Australia reserves the right to release revised rankings at any time if it determines that the amendments are in the best interest of the athletes and the Australian Rankings.
