Understanding the Ranking Systems

The Champions Race is the newer ranking system that starts every player off at the start of the season at 0 and they earn points as the season goes on. It's the results for the current tennis season only.

The Entry Ranking is the older 52 week system that takes into account a running total. Points are added or deleted weekly based on the current results. As players earn points for that weeks tournament, the points earned at that tournament the year before are dropped. The final number is based on only a certain number of tournaments: the 4 majors, the masters-series events and the five best tournament results from any other qualifying tournament.
